The year 1 90 3 being the centennial of the Louisiana Pur it l chase, seemed to me that such an historic date shou d be associated with the production of a census of the Americ an s P o Student in aris , together with biographical sketches of th se artists who in the mother city of the Fine Arts , by their achieve n e the ments , are augmenti g th ir laurels and adding lustre to fair name of their native land . The P bei n t o student population of aris g j a certain extent , s an ever changing one , it has been found impossible to make thi census absolutely complete ; but there will be found in it the 8 r names of at least 0 pe cent . of the American Students who have . studied there at some time durin g the year 1 90 3 . With this census is published short histories of the Ameri i n . : can institutions the French capital , viz The four American A c churches , the American Art ssociation , and the Ameri an ’ Students Club for Women . m It is to be regretted that while artists , both men and wo en , have provided for them comfortable homes , in the form of en c ur their clubs , the students of music have no protection or o a m n ff ge e t o ered to them . The merit of authenticity is claimed for the biographies herein published ; as each person has personally given his or her biography and their photograph with their signature thereon . This work will not have been undertaken in vain i f able 8 ’ merican t den ts Cen sus Paris . A S u , a n d ambitious young Americans are inspired by these examples t o attempt and t oemulate the achievements of their fellow coun r men t y . In taking the census of the American students in Paris this “ e I w co- y ar , wish to ackno ledge the operation of the Paris e New Yor k H erald c dition of the , of the various Art S hools , a n d of the Professors of music . o I e c To C untess Mario Venturini b g to dedi ate this , the 3 i o t he A 1 0 first ed ti n of merican Students Census , Paris , 9 3 , “ a n d ho e her p worthy act of assistance , which has made pos sible the publishing of this book as a souvenir of the greatest p eaceable transfer of territory ever made from one nation to a nother may be duly appreciated and find many imitators . ’ ’ American S tudeii C ts en sus,P ari s .
