NOTES
John Ruskin's collection of drawings by J. M. W. Turner were offered to Wadham College, Oxford. The writer noted that a "thing of beauty" is "a joy for ever." The quotation comes from Keats' Endymion and Dodgson used it as a sub-heading for his pamphlet The New Belfry of Christ Church, Oxford (1872). John Ruskin (1819-1900), MA Christ Church, became Slade Professor of Fine Art in 1869 until 1879, and again in 1883 until 1885. He and Dodgson met and corresponded from time to time.
