Yale is trying hard to establish an illustrated paper which shall rival the Lampoon. Yet, although their efforts may eventually prove successful, the project meets with much opposition. This shows the small influence which the Yale Art School has had upon the mass of students. Although it is deemed of enough importance to be established as a separate department, it has really exerted less influence than our courses in Fine Arts under Professors Norton and Moore. The influence of these courses upon the Lampoon has been considerable,-some of the men who have studied in the regular courses making the best illustrators and showing constant improvement due to their training. Nor is this influence exercised solely upon the artists of the illustrated paper. The many other men who take these courses become better acquainted with what is good in these bi-weekly issues, and they are less likely to commend poor work, thus stimulating the student artists to put forth their best work on all occasions.
