These casts were once central to class instruction and helped shape the curriculum and the collection.

She continued to serve Lake Erie Seminary jointly and was thus head of both departments until 1896. As a Mount Holyoke alumna, Randolph knew well the value of time and discipline and promptly after her arrival took on the mission of expanding the Department of Art so as to fit the needs of the students.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On January 1, 1897, after only four years as chair of the department, Randolph drafted a personal appeal to the college.<sup class='footnote'><a href='#marker-207-3' id='markerref-207-3' onclick='return footnotation_show(207)'>3<\/a><\/sup> The letter commented on the necessity for an art building at Mount Holyoke that would \u201cmeet the growing demands of the department.\u201d<sup class='footnote'><a href='#marker-207-4' id='markerref-207-4' onclick='return footnotation_show(207)'>4<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">[slideshow_deploy id=&#8217;1461&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In her letter she specified what would be the most suitable structure, mentioning Wellesley\u2019s Farnsworth Hall as a model that combined an exhibition space with lecture rooms and art studios.

The lecture room would allow the illustrations used in classes to be available at all times to those who wished to use them and the connecting studios would give space for the drawing and painting courses that were sometimes offered as a lab to students taking art history courses. Randolph made public with this letter more than the necessity for an art facility, the arrangement that would be most fitting for the purpose of teaching. Taking into consideration how the structure would help the students receive a well-rounded education in art and archaeology, she specified the manner in which the building was to create for the students a lifelike, palpable classroom experience that mirrored closely the real places and objects discussed. These didactic yet dynamic approaches to teaching transformed the learning experience and were the true underpinnings of the Mount Holyoke collection. It was during this time that art itself became a valuable resource to the American liberal arts curriculum, seen in the development of public museums in the United States.<sup class='footnote'><a href='#marker-207-5' id='markerref-207-5' onclick='return footnotation_show(207)'>5<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1469\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1469\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/Dwight_Hall_interior_with_a_class_in_the_art_gallery.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1469 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/Dwight_Hall_interior_with_a_class_in_the_art_gallery-300x243.jpg\" alt=\"A class in Dwight Hall uses the gallery to supplement their lesson, ca. 1950-1960.

In the following years, as the construction of Dwight Hall began, Randolph published an itemized purchase list of casts noting those that would be of most interest to the college and suggesting locations where to purchase them while \u201cshe saw to it that the castes obtained were the most perfect that could be made.\u201d<sup class='footnote'><a href='#marker-207-8' id='markerref-207-8' onclick='return footnotation_show(207)'>8<\/a><\/sup><sup class='footnote'><a href='#marker-207-9' id='markerref-207-9' onclick='return footnotation_show(207)'>9<\/a><\/sup> The replicas were to enrich the success of Dwight Hall which, as she wrote in a letter to alumnae in the later months of 1897, \u201cdepended largely upon its proper equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">She called on graduates to make contributions in their names to the development of the department namely in the purchase of casts and in the establishment of an endowment for the acquisition of art.

More specifically, Randolph\u2019s fascination with the plaster casts and her dedication to the careful selection of each and every one of them gave to Mount Holyoke, as she herself noted, \u201can invaluable possession in connection with the teaching of sculpture and archaeology.\u201d<sup class='footnote'><a href='#marker-207-11' id='markerref-207-11' onclick='return footnotation_show(207)'>11<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In 1901, a year prior to the opening of the Dwight Art Memorial Hall, Randolph traveled for eight months, presumably in search of casts, photographs, and original objects to add to the collection. After two years of construction and five years of travel, negotiation, meticulous organization, and thought on the part of Randolph and the department, Dwight Art Memorial Hall rose in 1902. The building stood thanks to Randolph\u2019s ability to dedicate herself with \u201cwhole heart and mind\u2026 (to) the perfecting of this monument, raised through her own mediation, to her beloved art in her beloved college.\u201d<sup class='footnote'><a href='#marker-207-12' id='markerref-207-12' onclick='return footnotation_show(207)'>12<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\">Honors and Donations<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Randolph\u2019s name became synonymous with the cast collection so that years later the gallery in Dwight was renamed \u201c The Louise Fitz-Randolph Gallery of Casts\u201d in gratitude for her efforts.<sup class='footnote'><a href='#marker-207-13' id='markerref-207-13' onclick='return footnotation_show(207)'>13<\/a><\/sup> In 1904 Mount Holyoke awarded Randolph an honorary Master of Arts degree in recognition of her years as professor and key developer of the college.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1480\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1480\" style=\"width: 217px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/Shabti-lfr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1480 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/Shabti-lfr-217x300.jpg\" alt=\"Egyptian shabti gifted to Mount Holyoke by Randolph following her 1909-1910 travels, 747-332 BCE (Mount Holyoke College Art Museum)\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/Shabti-lfr-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/Shabti-lfr.jpg 462w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Egyptian shabti gifted to Mount Holyoke by Randolph following her 1909-1910 travels, 747-332 BCE (Mount Holyoke College Art Museum)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the years 1909-1910 she spent another 14 months abroad, during which time she acquired objects both for the college and her personal collection.

To Randolph these small items that might seem mundane were fundamental to the students\u2019 understanding and a well-rounded education. She contributed many items from her personal collection to Dwight in order to more closely fill the narrative that she set out to create. Many of these objects were donated by her personally and others were donated in her name following her death.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtholyoke.edu\/~lbmelton\/fun\/mhcsongs.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Mount Holyoke Forever Shall Be!<\/a><sup class='footnote'><a href='#marker-207-14' id='markerref-207-14' onclick='return footnotation_show(207)'>14<\/a><\/sup><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1487\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1487\" style=\"width: 424px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/rg19-fitz-l-f03-i003-001-hpr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1487 \" src=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/rg19-fitz-l-f03-i003-001-hpr-684x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Louise Fitz Randolph, ca. 1916 (ASCMHC)\" width=\"424\" height=\"635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/rg19-fitz-l-f03-i003-001-hpr-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/rg19-fitz-l-f03-i003-001-hpr-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/rg19-fitz-l-f03-i003-001-hpr-768x1151.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Louise Fitz Randolph, ca. 1916 (ASCMHC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Throughout her later <\/em>years<em> she continued with scholarly zest to follow all current studies and discoveries in her field.<sup class='footnote'><a href='#marker-207-15' id='markerref-207-15' onclick='return footnotation_show(207)'>15<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1484\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1484\" style=\"width: 217px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/Commencement_1922_Miss_Hartshorn_left_Miss_Harriest_Mowry_or_Miss_Randolph_right.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1484 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/Commencement_1922_Miss_Hartshorn_left_Miss_Harriest_Mowry_or_Miss_Randolph_right-217x300.jpg\" alt=\"Randolph (right) with Eleanor A.

It is possible that personal correspondence and writings that were considered private and of no use to the college were kept in the family, so some mysteries still remain about Randolph\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1507\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1507\" style=\"width: 362px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/Louises-names.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1507 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/Louises-names.png\" alt=\"Some of the ways Randolph wrote her name.

Randolph showed signs of a relatable life, at times wanting to sleep for months after finally getting through a semester and of what one can jokingly call conflicting identities: not being able to decide whether she wanted to abbreviate her middle name or hyphenate it to her last name. <sup class='footnote'><a href='#marker-207-18' id='markerref-207-18' onclick='return footnotation_show(207)'>18<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1504\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1504\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/P1011183-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1504 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/foundingsisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2016\/12\/P1011183-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Informational label in the staircase of the Art Building at Mount Holyoke.
