...need not be, however, over-concerned with the historical phase of the matter, with Cezanne's relation to the movement of Impressionism, nor with the more complicated experiments of his technique in the fundamentals of form and light. One can easily find in those works in display much that is Classical, much that shows the influence of Courbet, Tintoretto, Rubens, and Delacroix. But what is most important is the realization of the subjective character of the exhibition and the willingness to 'look again' in an endeavor to penetrate the wall of unphotographic reality which will probably, with the majority...

...first place, concentrators in English take their general final examinations on the field as do concentrators in most other fields. The details of this matter need not be presented here, but the intention, as usual, is to ascertain that a student when he graduates not merely has at one time known certain part of the field, but still retains a general knowledge of all of it as well as a knowledge of certain allied subjects. Further, concentrators in English are aided by tutors, not only to prepare for their individual examinations, but also to acquire the habit of reading good...
