the University group, with its old buildings specially designed to furnish
examples of the various orders "as specimens for the architectural lectures,"
its new buildings designed by Stanford White; the works of sculpture by Houdon,
Ezekiel, Bitter, Borglum, Keck, Shrady, and Aitken; the paintings and
prints presented by Messrs. Thomas F. Ryan, John Barton Payne, John Armstrong
Chaloner and others; the concerts and exhibitions of paintings brought
to the University with part of the income of the McIntire fund. For the current
work in Art and Architecture there is generous provision of casts, books,
photographs and lantern slides.
