i68 Staten Island Association of Arts and Sciences 



which formerly occupied the site at the southwest corner of Westervelt Avenue 

 and Richmond Terrace, New Brighton. It is undated, but contains the in- 

 formation "Drawn by William Chorlton, jr.", and "S. Benedict & Co. Sta- 

 tioners." It was apparently the letterhead ot the institute stationery and 

 was probably printed about i860. 



The chairman urged the members of the section to be on the lookout for 

 old views of Staten Island scenery and houses of local historical interest, and 

 to secure them whenever they could be obtained. Also to photograph, on 

 every favorable opportunity, any natural or other features that might be of 

 future scientific or historic interest. 



S. McKee Smith, 



Recorder. 



SECTION OF ART 



Early in June, 1915, the section, through a special committee of its art loan 

 committee, consisting of Dr. John Q. Adams, Mr. Robert W. Gardner, and Mr. 

 Carl E. Tefft, collected and installed in the Museum a loan exhibition of 

 sculpture which remained on view until the middle of October. A full list of 

 the subjects and exhibitors was printed in the August issue of the Bulletin, 

 The exhibition also received very complimentary notices in the press. 



The program of the regular meeting of the Association held on April 15, 

 1916, was arranged by the section, on which occasion Dr. James P. Haney, 

 Director of Art in the New York City high schools, gave an illustrated lecture 

 on Some Lessons from Foreign Industrial Art Schools. 



The section held a meeting on Wednesday evening, May 17, at which Mr. 

 Frederick L. Stoddard gave an illustrated lecture on Mural Painting in the 

 United States. By reason of lack of a quorum for the transaction of business 

 the section did not hold an election of officers, and the officers for the year 

 1915-16 will therefore hold over, viz., Dr. John Q. Adams, chairman; Freder- 

 ick L. Marshall, vice chairman; Miss Agnes L. Pollard, recorder. 



John Q. Adams, 



Chairman.
