Instruction
Discipline Satisfactory
General
To my great astonishment I find a beautiful Antique
marble remnant of a statue standing in the male painting school standing
on a 2 feet six high pedestal of course it is knocked about & soiled easels etc.
are leaning against it and if the Council judges it necessary to leave it in the
school for study it ought to be put in a conspicuous place where it can be seen
properly & is out of danger say on a pedestal 5 feet high; if not it better find a place
in the diploma gallery.
