STUDY OF FINE ARTS TO BE USED FOR HISTORY 1

Announcement of a slight change in the course of study for History 1 was made yesterday by P. P. Cram '15, instructor in History.

In addition to the required reading for the weeks dealing with the period before the Renaissance and into the Reformation, prints of the significant examples of art at this time are to be circulated among the members of the class. These will be given out with a book dealing on the artistic life of the century. The pupil will receive with the prints a short sheet of explanation which will not attempt to tell specific things about the individual pictures, but will give a general idea of art and the times. Cram pointed out that history at this time was more a history of the revival of art than a political one. "The average history course," he said, "fails to recognize this and devotes the time to general history. We have tried to give more attention to this artistic side."

The students will carefully review for a test the twenty or thirty prints which are given out weekly for the next four weeks keeping in mind the fact that they are not merely looking at a few pictures, but they are seeing examples which have been carefully selected for their value.
