Mr. L. J. Bridgman, a graduate of Harvard, who has recently returned from Europe, has placed on view in Williams & Everett's fine-art rooms a collection of water-colors and sepia drawings, which are very interesting, as showing the influence and tendency of the art instruction at Harvard College. Mr. Bridgman, as a student in Harvard, was under the guidance of Mr. Moore, and while abroad made such studies as were advised by his Harvard instructors. He has returned, having with him studies of Venice, views of her palaces, interiors, and also a copy of V. Cappaccio, which, with a few pictures painted since his return, make up the exhibition. His style is in sympathy with the English water-color artists and has a touch of pre-Raphaelism about it. Mr. Bridgman has taken a studio at Cambridge, and there may be in this a fillip to "the Cambridge school."

Mr. Chas. H. Morse corrects the statement that the drawings of Mr. L. J. Bridgman show the tendency of the art instruction at Harvard. He says: "This work of Mr. Bridgman's is not only immature, but it is also in many ways seriously faulty and contrary to the principles which are taught in the fine arts department." - [Ex.
