THE RED AND BLACK.
An Art Society.
Editors Kkd and Black:
There in an idea abroad in the
University at present with regard
to the establishment of an art soci
ety. The object of this society will
be to promote an interest for art in
the University, and good feeling
and friendship among its members;
to form a sketching club and to
hold regular meetings at which
topics relating to painting, archi
lecture, drawing and photography
may be discussed, and essays read
for the purpose of promoting that
knowledge of art, which is at the
present day indispensable to every
thoroughly educated man, and to
promote the practical aims of art
which should be of importance anti
interest to every one. I shall not
try to commend the aims of the so
ciety at this time, when a knowl
edge of drawing is indispensable to j
some professions, and particularly !
useful in all lines of scientific work,
anti in the common works of life— j
they commend themselves; but I ,
should 'ike to say that if this socie-!
ty is fottoed, it will not only be for
the purposes of those who are al- {
ready artistic, hut to cultivate the
love of art in all; aud moreover,
that it will exact no fees or fines
since this is the wish of the orjgina
tor of the plan.
Fellow students give this your
>•< , consideration and hearty
upport; do what you can to pro
mote the influence of those great
arts whose powers for good grow
greater year by year. (’. T. II.

Sweet Reflections.
I love to set at eventide.
Beneath the heaven’s blue.
And while the stars are watching o’er,
To think, my love, of you.
1 love to see the morning wake.
Refreshed with fragrant dew;
Its freshness, and its vigor, love,
Remind me still of you.
And when the noontide's piercing rays,
Shine thro’ the distant blue,
In fondness still, my mind returns,
Sweet angel one, to you.
Ah! ‘'morning, noon, and eventide,”
My tlio’ts revert to you;
Some day you’ll be my darling Clyde,
And I your Walter true.
