Historical Slides
Shown by Barron
Mr. Joseph Barron, lecturer in the
Art department, gave a presentation of the architectural characteristics of each historical period covered in Prof. Thomas D. Clark's
courses In American history at the
university.
Mr. Barron used for his specific
examples those works of art which
were most typical and which entered most frequently into the lives
of the greatest number of people as
well as those which would have the
greatest Interest because of their
associations for the students of history.

In order to bring the story of
architecture closer to the personages and events that comprise the
more dramatic aspects of American
history hf employed frequently such
historical structures as Paul
home in Boston, the Dorothy
Qulncy house in Quincy, Old North,
Church, Mount Vernon, Westover,
and Ashland. The lantern slides
which were used were taken from,
photographs made by Mr. Barron.
