OUR CATALOG GLADLY SENT ON REQUEST DESIGNED FOR A PURPOSE Those who study to become Interior Decorators ~re learning to create lovely designs such as are being used in the most selective circles to beautify the home. In this department design, as taught by Mrs. Danielson, Mr. Harringer, Miss Hull and Mr. Scheffler, is a complete and perfect foundation for a life of artistic activity. But in the EVANSTON ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS design is not confined to these departments, for we regard it as the true basis of all artistic expression. Even in such classes as are drawing the nude figure, the greatest emphasis is laid upon design, so that the students may not in the end simply have learned to copy what is before . them but they may find themselves equipped to bring to this world beautifully conceived ideas well designed and executed.
