The only defect in the course is the tremendous speed at which it is given. One half year is all the time allotted to dashing through early Christian art to Medieval art through it to Renaissance art, through Renaissance art to modern art, and finally landing somewhat winded in the lap of a post-Impressionist. Professor Edgell strives nobly to make up for the shortness of the time by grinding out words and witty...
