Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Closing Exercises of the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art: Held at Memorial Hall, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia; Saturday, May 31, 1890 at 3: 30 P. M The President, in opening the exercises said: I am very glad to welcome you all on this occasion. During the past year the work of the school has advanced and increased to a very great extent; so much so, that the school building at 1336 Spring Garden Street is wholly inadequate for our use. If, as it is proposed, we shall open a school of Pottery, where everything relating to that art shall be taught, we will have to obtain quarters elsewhere adjoining or near to our present building, and the same desire expressed before, remains with the trustees, to have the collection of the Museum and school under one roof in the centre of the city. To-day this improvement seems no nearer realization than it did last year, except that some others are talking and more are thinking about it. I hope in the near future that it may be accomplished. The report of the Principal will now be read by Mr. Miller. Annual Report May 31st, 1890. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: If in some respects the experience of the year which closes today has emphasized needs which have never pressed upon us quite so hard before, it has, I believe, on the whole witnessed as substantial progress as any of those which have preceded it. If we have felt crowded in our inadequate accommodations and pinched by the want of resources which we could have turned to good account, it has been because we have outgrown the quarters that once sufficed, and because some things which were only aims to be striven for a few years ago are now accomplished facts. But the more we accomplish, the more I am afraid, we find to do, and I suspect that these reports which I am expected to make periodically, as the years go by, sound quite as much like programmes of what is still to be accomplished as they do like records of actual attainment. I cannot help it, and I cannot promise that it will ever be different. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
