The largest gathering of women college graduates ever held took place on Saturday at the Hotel Brunswick in Boston, on the occasion of the annual meeting of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae.

Grant Webster who succeeds Mr. Loring as secretary, graduated with the class of 1886 and has a fine reputation as an efficient organizer, and has already largely increased the membership of the club.

College men should be interested in the exhibition of Mr. Donaghue's statues, now in progress at Horticultural Hall. While the figure modeled from Sullivan cannot fail to attract attention as a wonderfully realistic presentation of the modern athlete, as contrasted with the Greek types with which we are so familiar, the other statues show inspiration, of a higher sort. It is indeed encouraging to see classic subjects treated by an American sculptor with such freshness of conception and such spirit and success in execution. A more charming figure than that of "The Young Sophocles Leading the Chorus after the Battle of Salamis" it would be difficult to find. Such a work is worth more than pages of description in the vividness with which it brings the old Greek life before us. A yet more original, though to us less pleasing work. is the "Hunting Nymph." Bracing herself on the hillside, she has let fly an arrow and is intently watching its sure course. The triumphant joy of the huntress animates every line of the figure. It was this statue, we believe, which attracted so much attention at the Salon of '85, where it received a well-deserved prize. No greater encouragement could be offered to those who care for the welfare of American art than the sight of such work as this.
