Osborn, former Governor of the state, with a fund of $5,000 to provide a " fellow of creative art" with a " salary which will allow him to live without worrying about means of subsistence, to provide working facilities, to relieve him of all academic duties, and simply to allow him to work at the production of his own pictures, poems or whatever it may be."

Belle France. War left him sightless but unbowed. His fellow artists rallied to his support. The last picture he painted was in this year's Salon de la SociÉtÉ Nationale. Recently he was promoted from Officer to Commandeur of the Legion d'Honneur. Great painters struggled to carry him on their shoulders through the Grand Palais. G. C. Bonnat, Director of the École des Beaux Arts, made him Professor of Esthetics for life. Lemordant struggles...
