...Fine Arts department thus fails to accomplish what should be its highest goal to teach a student the method by which he can judge art for himself, to show him the universal essentials which lie behind all art. The attainment of such a goal entails far less emphasis on facts and chronology--these become a means to an end rather than an end in themselves.

Mounted attractively on the room's south wall, it is likely to win the most casual observer with its vigorous representation and rich color, its size and dignity. The fresco represents a species of griffin, showing the head and wings of an eagle, the neck of a serpent, and the tail of a cock. Though his body is much blurred, ferocity still lives in his eye, tension in his talons, strength in his large...
