The Slade School of Fine Art, University College, Gower-Street, [London], 1881. 'In the central portion of the newly finished North Wing the ground floor, the first storey and part of the basement have been appropriated to the Slade School. This school owes its origin to a bequest of the late Mr. Felix Slade for the founding of a Fine Arts Department...[It contains] studios for drawing, painting, and modelling from the life and from casts of antiques, with arrangements for the accommodation of female as well as male students.... The new building having been furnished with casts, seats, easels, and other necessary objects, was opened...[in] 1871...M. Alphonse Legros [was elected Slade Professor]. The apartments now provided for the Slade School of Fine Art consist of the library and lecture-room,...with a room for the Professor and his assistants; a large life studio, part of the old building, for students of the male class; another life studio...facing the north, for the ladies' or mixed class; the Professor's studio; the Antique room, in which are many tine casts; a room for the sculpture class, or for drawing and painting from the antique; and a place for the etching class'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
