RUSKIN CENTENARY.

CELEBRATION IN LONDON.

A public meeting in celebration of the centenary of the birth of John Ruskin was held on Feb. 8 at the rooms of the Royal Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi. Lord "Bryce was in the chair.

Among those present were Mr. J. W. Mackail, Mr. W. G. Colling wood, Mr. S. C. Cockerell. Mr. J. A. Hobson, Mr. S. Meynell, Mr. H. W. Nevinson, Mr. T. M. Rooke, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Severn, Mr. A. Wedder burn, Sir Sidney Colvin, Sir F" G. Kenyon, Mr. Laurence Binyon, Mr. A. G. Gardiner, Professor Selwyn Image, Sir Cecil Smith, Sir Philip Burne-Jones, Mr. Maurice Hewlett, Lady Birkenhead, Sir E. T. Cook, Sir Sidney Lee, Mr. Conrad Dressler, Mr. C. F. G. Masterman, and Mr. J. H. Whitehouse (hon. secretary).

Mr. Conrad Dressler's bust of Ruskin was placed at the front of the platform, with a wreath of laurels and snowdrops hanging beneath it. A similar wreath was sent to West- minster Abbey,

Sir Herbert Warren, in a message to the meeting on behalf of "friends of like loyal memory in Ruskin's own Oxford, said that Ruskin was assuredly among the great Oxford names of any century. He was also oce of the benefactors of Oxford. They still had his drawing school, and the drawing master whom Ruskin himself appointed, Mr. Alexander Macdonald, was still its presiding genius. The message of truth and beauty which Ruskin delivered had to-day ret less but more value. We did well to read again the inspiring. pages of this Plato of our nation. He was not only a scholar, but a secr.

Lord Bryce said that those who did not remember the pre-Ruskinian age could hardly understand" with what different eyes everybody since the publication of" Modem Painters." had looked upon pictures and how different they had thought of the things pictures were made to repre sent, Ruskin was a great interpreter of nature. In many respects he was the best successor of Wordsworth The Rev. H. D. Rawnsley had asked him to point out that people would do well to pay attention to projects likely to injure the scenery of our country which from time to time came before the Legislature, and to give their support to efforts which were being made to prevent this injury. Ruskin had doubled the enjoyment we took in cities like Venice and Florence by the way in which he had taught us to interpret the paintings there and their relation to the history of these cities.. Later in his life Ruskin turned to subjects which belonged to the sphere of social ethics. Then he showed himself an extraordinarily vitalizing force. He owed a good deal to Carlyle, but what be derived from Carlyle was changed in the process and made a more direct, sympathetic, and emotional appeal to many people than it did as stated by Carlyle him- self. It was perhaps in this way that Ruskin had most. affected the younger half of the generation to which he belonged. He had been the parent of many movements, many new currents of opinion, which had been playing backwards and forwards during the last 25 or 30. years. He had been criticized as wayward and inconsistent But the inconsistencies of a man of genius were the marks of his greatness. He saw things in different, aspects and many lights; and for this we ought to be grateful.
