There has been opened in the Print Room of the Fogg Museum an exhibition of work done by students in the free-hand drawing courses of the Fine Arts Department. The exhibition illustrates a new experiment in the adaptation of the teaching of drawing and painting to the requirements and limitations of the college curriculum--an attempt to make this teaching correspond to that of other college subjects of somewhat similar nature. The first course is an elementary course on the principles of drawing and painting, corresponding to a course on rhetoric. The following courses are practice courses, in which, however, emphasis is placed on the underlying principles is placed on the underlying principles involved; they correspond perhaps to English composition courses, and the drawings exhibited may be regarded as analogous, some to daily, some to weekly or fortnightly themes. The exhibition will remain open until 5 o'clock Thursday, June 19.
