_NOTE_
_The lectures presented in this volume comprise the twelfth series
delivered at the Art Institute of Chicago on the Scammon Foundation.
The Scammon Lectureship is established on an ample basis by bequest of
Mrs. Maria Sheldon Scammon, who died in 1901. The will prescribes that
these lectures shall be upon the history, theory, and practice of the
Fine Arts (meaning thereby the graphic and plastic arts), by persons
of distinction or authority on the subject on which they lecture, such
lectures to be primarily for the benefit of the students of the Art
Institute, and secondarily for members and other persons. The lectures
are known as “The Scammon Lectures.”_
