Mr. F. Edwin Elwell, the sculptor, will lecture on "The Necessity of Integrity in Art" in the Lecture Room of Robinson Hall tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. The lecture is given under the auspices of the Department of Fine Arts and is open to all members of the University. Mr. Elwell is one of the leading American sculptors, "second to none" in the estimation of the late Mr. St. Gaudens.
Mr. Elwell began the active study of his profession under Jean Joseph Alexander Falguiere, member of the Institute of France, at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and holds a certificate of membership in that famous school.
He received medals from the Columbia Exposition at Chicago, 1893, and from the Pan-American, at Buffalo, 1901. He has twice been awarded a gold medal by the Philadelphia Art Club, and received a silver medal from Leopold II of Belgium. He is an honorary member of the Cincinnati Art Club and of the Dickens Fellowship, and was curator for several years of the Departments of Ancient and Modern Sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
