Gift of the Class of '90.
The class of 1890 of which Miss Sutliff is a member, at the time of their graduation, agreed among themselves that each member of the class should pay a dollar into the class treasury until a sufficient fund should be raised to present some worthy gift to the University. The result of this action has just been partly realized. The class has presented the Library with a fine set of ten portfolios of engravings;
masterpieces of French art, Imperial Edition, India paper proofs before letters limited to one thousand copies. The set contains the finest gems of art up to and including the salon of 1882. The work is published at Philadelphia by Gebbie & Co., of France, one of the most famous firms of engravers in the world. Each portfolio contains perhaps a dozen excellent photogravures after rare paintings and sculptures, and a number of wood cuts of masterpieces. Each selection is accompanied by a brief description and, explanation of it and each portfolio contains also a short sketch of the life and work of the different masters whose productions are represented in the portfolio.
Taken together the gift to the Library is a rare one and one of which the members of the class which presented it, and also all lovers of art in the University, have every reason to feel proud.
Prof. Dyche's Arctic Photographs.
E. S. Tucker, the University photographer has been working all week on Prof. Dyche's pictures of Arctic scenes, and has found them to be a fine collection. The professor took with him to Greenland nearly forty dozen dry plates, and out of this number Mr. Tucker believes he will be able to successfully develop over three hundred excellent pictures. This is remarkable, when the nearly insurmountable obstacles to successful photography in the Arctic regions are taken into consideration. Among the plates already developed is a large collection of walrus, which is said to be the only complete collection of pictures of the walrus in his native haunts, ever taken. These Prof. Dyche will use to illustrate a series of magazine articles which he is now writing. About two hundred of his views he expects to use in his lectures this winter. These lantern slides will include snap-shots of the walrus and seal in their native haunts, photographs of Arctic birds and also of the Esquimaux from both the highlands and the lowlands of Greenland. The Prof's. collection is a very valuable one, not only from a scientific but also a financial standpoint.
