Mrs. Bernard M. Jenkin, Miss Mabel
J. Young, Mr. W. J. Neatby, and Mr.
Reginald Waud together held an exhibi-

Mr. William Nicholson exhibited at the
Stafford Gallery a series of drawings of the
Oxford colleges. Oxford has long awaited
such sympathetic treatment, and this in

romantic and traditional scholarship, are
sympathetically rendered in Mr. Nichol-
