Last evening the first regular meeting of the re-organized Art Club was held in its room at Grays. Almost all the new members of the club were present. After a few moments spent in conversation, President White called the club to order. The new constitution was discussed and a number of motions relative to the government of the club were passed. At eight o'clock Prof. Norton was introduced by the president, who immediately resigned the chair to him as the guest and lecturer of the evening. The lecture was a charming one in all respects, neither too long nor too extensive, but giving the members a clear, concise understanding of the important part that art plays in the refining and civilizing of nations. The object of the club was briefly touched upon, and a few valuable suggestions were made as to the way in which the club could become a useful and active society. The importance of cultivating any talent,- be it a talent for literature, painting, sculpture, or, in short, for any one of the fine arts,- can hardly be overestimated, but a spirit of dilettanteism should be avoided. The members of the club warmly appreciated Prof. Norton's very interesting talk, and on the whole the club is to be congratulated on its successful initial meeting.
