Equipment.—The work offered re-establishes the instruction outlined in
the first curriculum of the University, 1818, the earliest proposal for instruction
in art, architecture, and music in any American university. An unrivalled background
is provided for it by the buildings and environment of Charlottesville;
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.
