Purcell has sketched Dido and Aeneas as very real people.

Just why Mr. Feininger and his courses will depart in a few months is muzzily unclear. Mr. Feininger himself attributes the idea to terminate his courses to former Dean Bundy, who supposedly decided in the spring of 1960 that all studio courses would be separated from the Fine Arts department, and, presumably, placed under the aegis of the new Carpenter Visual Arts Center--as soon as the Center was able to shelter these courses...
