Additional Details



"I am in favor of permitting women to enter the State art academies, provided, however, that those admitted are carefully selected so as not to further promote the wide-spread occurance of sub-standard women's art . . . no judgement concerning the ultimate value of women's art should really be made before equal opportunities for combined study have been created. I am, therefore, in favor of permitting young women in the State academies, though only those whose talent is beyond question should be admitted."<
