~'J' t II.o AlaIjj VOL. II.-No. 46. UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1891. PRICE, THREE CENTS. THE STUDY OF ART. A Movement on Foot to Improve Our Art Collection. An article in last Monday's Free Press, remarking on the deficiencies of the University in the way of ap- paratus for the study of art, points out the attempts now being made by certain members of the faculty to supply these deficiencies. Mention is made of Prof. D'Ooge's stereopti- can views and of the photographs which Prof. Kelsey is ordering for, the Frieze Memorial Collection, and especial attention is called to the movement which Prof. Scott has set on foot to collect material for the study of the Old Masters. To illustrate his lectures on the philosophy of art, Prof. Scott, after the Christmas vacation, will give his class in esthetics a series of talks on the painters Leonardo da Vinci and Michael Angelo. A small sum granted by the University has been spent in securing reproductions of paintings by these masters, and about sixty photographs are now on their way from Florence and Paris. They will include representations of the entire interior of the Sistine Chapel at Rome, the decoration of whichj forms Michael Angelo's most cele- brated work. The large panels on the ceiling will be represented by photographs of the largest size, and twenty-five smaller photographs will afford means of studying the minuter features. The various groups which make up the Last Judgment are shown in a series of pictures. Of reproductions of Leonardo's paintings the following are the most important of those that have been ordered: The Adoration of the Magi, the Last Supper, the Anunciation, the Portrait of himself, the Baptism (by Veroccaio) with Leonardo's An- gels, a Study of a Youth, and the famous Mona Lisa. The last is a carbon photograph from Braunt & Co., Paris, and promises to be extraordinarily fine. With the aid of a complete collec- tion of such photographs and of reproductions by the various modern "processes," Prof. Scott thinks it will be possible to study the painters of certain periods of the Renaissance about as successfully in Ann Arbor as in the European galleries. A very few hundred dollars not expended for show but laid out in a systematic way so as to illustrate one phase of the philosophy of art, would be worth, for scientific study of theC subject, almost more than the entire contents of our present art museum. It is Prof. Scott's purpose to make a collection of this sort. To raise funds he proposes to appeal to the alumni and friends of the University who are interested in the study of art. Many promises of help have already been obtained, and as the scheme will be pushed vigorously, there can be little doubt of the final success. American Foot-Ball. to the middle of the field. Here Nicholson got the ball and running into the crowd at the side carried the ball down the field, and made a touch-down.. Many of the specta- tors claimed lie ran out bounds but the referee did not see it, and would not allow the protest. Nicholson kicked goal. 'The High Schools were given the ball at the center of the field,but soon lost it. '93 then carried it down the field by good runs of Cleverdon and Jones and steady rush line work. Jones made the touch-down, and Nicholson kicked goal.
