Southern Print Makers, The Orlando Art Association, and The North Carolina State Art Society. Rollins College, in Winter Park, Florida, will offer a course in the instruction of etching under the direc tion of Miss Swett next winter. The course will cover the individual making of an etching with an emphasis on the historical background as well as on the trends of today. She likes riding and golf for recreation, and her hobby is the collection of etchings by other artists. She says that these are rather simple to collect because there is quite an interesting system of exchange of prints among etchers. Miss Swett feels as though the importance of self- expression cannot be over-emphasized. She feels that in general people fail to recognize or at least to appre ciate a talent for this expression. She believes that more experiments along that line should be made. She says that though it may not involve a profession, self- expression may be of vital importance as an avocation which she feels is essential to living life at its fullest. Through the Amateur Art Exhibitions sponsored each year by the Allied Arts of Winter Park, she has seen the discovery of talent scarcely realized and the door way towards new art interests and a career in art thereby opened. Besides being a recognized artist. Miss Swett is a delightfully interesting and gracious person and an alumna of whom Saint Mary’s is exceedingly proud. It will be recalled that a “profile sketch” of Miss Swett appeared in the March, 1939, Bulletin, as one of Saint Mary’s distinguished alumnse.
