This evening is delivered a lecture in Sever on "Notoriety in Art" by Mr. Herkomer, professor of fine arts at Oxford. It is gratifying to see that, at a time when so many other interests are forced upon our minds, and when we would be most likely to forget the claims of an art, which does not aim solely at practical ends, attention is called to the department of fine arts in a way at once pleasing and elevating. Mr. Herkomer enjoys a high reputation as a scholarly critic, and is a man of refined tastes. Anything that he will be led to say cannot fail to interest those who listen to him. College students are slowly arriving at an appreciation of the fine arts and the benefit to be derived from a study of them, and can understand the weight which men of culture give the subject. We trust that Mr. Herkomer will be greeted with a large and enthusiastic audience, and we venture to prophesy that those who attend his lecture will be amply repaid for their expenditure of time.
