ART ASSOCIATION

Following the recent exhibit of Warner landscapes and American illustrations, and the Cornish exhibit of last year, both conducted by the Department of Fine Arts, Professor G. B. Zug has announced the formation of the Dartmouth College Art Association. The purpose of the organization will be the promoting of local art exhibitions and lectures by artists and critics of established reputation. The body is to be affiliated with the non-athletic council and is backed by President Hopkins and prominent members of the faculty.

The immediate purpose is to provide adequate financing and undergraduate managing for future exhibits. Through the generosity of alumni and friends of the College, the department last year had $1200 available for this purpose, but although the exhibiting artists receive no compensation for the loan of their works, the expenses of transportation, collecting, packing and insurance are so high that for the year 1917 the entire amount in sight for exhibitions is the budget appropriation of $150. It is hoped through the activity of regular members, paying dues of one dollar a year, and of sustaining members, paying "five dollars a year, future exhibitions, as other non-athletic activities, may be possible.
