...Messrs. King and Ivy; and already almost the whole edition of one thousand has been subscribed for.

The interest in the Art Club has greatly increased among its members, and we feel convinced that this exhibition will tend to arouse a similar interest among the other members of the University. The exhibition is not to be open for a week, but only for three days. The etchings...
