Class of '90's Gift.
The gift of the class of '90 to the University has received a very considerable addition in the form of a large folio volume entitled "Illustrated Biographies of Modern Artists," arranged under the direction of F. G. Dumas and published in Paris. The biographies, each by a separate author, give accounts of the life and work of the following twelve artists: Sir Frederick Leighton, J. E. Millais, Hubert Herkomer, L. Alma-Tadema, Paul Baudry, Josef Israels, Adolf Menzel, Carl von Piloty, Hans Makart, James Clarke Hook, Alexandre Cabanel and J. L. E. Meissonier. The text is abundantly illustrated, and there is also a fine full-page etched portrait of each artist, as well as several very beautiful full-page etchings from the best work of each.
It may not be amiss to mention again the other art work, which, with this volume, composes the gift of the class: "The Masterpieces of French Art," published by Gebbie & Co., Philadelphia. This is a set of ten portfolios, containing each a dozen photogravures of the best work of French artists, together with a brief account and criticism of each picture and extended biographies of all the artists. There are also a number of supplementary wood engravings in each portfolio. The work forms a treasury of the best in French art previous to the salon of 1883. The "Biographies" and the "Masterpieces" together make a valuable addition to the art collections of the University, one of which the givers may well be proud.
A Remedy.
A mere suggestion now we make, To orators impart it- For words a strong astringent take. For ideas a cathartic.
CIGARETTE SMOKERS, who are willing to pay a little more than the price charged for the ordinary trade Cigarettes, will find THIS BRAND superior to all others. These cigarettes are made from the brightest, most delicately flavored and highest cost Gold Leaf grown in Virginia. This is the Old and Oriental Brands of Straight Cut Cigarettes, and was brought out by us in the year 1875.
