DR. CURRY'S ART LECTURES During the past three months Dr. Curry has conducted three Summer Terms-in Waxahachie, Texas, at the University of Pittsburgh, and in Chicago-and has given a number of lectures on Art in various cities. At the University of Indiana, in June, Dr. Curry gave a course of five lectures on the following subjects: Nature of Art, Great Periods of Art, Romanticism and Realism, Impressionism, and American Poetic Landscape. In the city of St. Louis, at the Art Museum, he gave an informal art talk"A Walk Among the Pictures," he called it-to an interested group of people. In Pittsburgh, Dr. Curry gave an interpretive talk on "Modern Tendencies in Art" to some sixty students and friends in the galleries of the Carnegie Institute; and at the Chicago Art Institute in August, he spoke on "A Hundred Years of Art." Dr. Curry was the recipient of a number of social courtesies in the cities he visited. In Pittsburgh a reception was given for him at the Young Women's Hospitality House, and on the night of July 27, a banquet, was given in his honor at the City Club in the William Penn Hotel. A reception was also given to Dr. Curry in Indianapolis. Dr. Curry's letters indicate that far from being fatigued with his summer's work, he will return refreshed and full of energy for the October Term.
