It is surprising how little appreciation the art collection now exposed in Sever is receiving. It is made up of a number of engravings and paintings which belong to the Fine Arts Department and of others loaned from private collections, and they all will amply repay half an hour's inspection. Some of the sketches by Turner, as well as the copies by Ward, are of particular interest, being highly characteristic of the dashing style of the author, and to those who have never seen his larger works, they will prove a valuable supplement to the courses in fine arts, which they may have followed here. Among other notable sketches are some studies by Ruskin and a series of illustrations by Darte and Gabriel Rossetti, which should attract much attention from the signatures, if for no other reason. Mr. Moore also has some very fine water color sketches from Venice and Italy, which show an extraordinary delicacy of coloring. As the exhibition will close in a few days, and we feel confident that very few persons have visited it, we would again urge every one to take a few minutes of his leisure time for this purpose before the end of the week.
