Letter from Principal Saskatoon Collegiate Institute to Mr. Thomas W. Mitchell, April 16, 1920.
1920-04-16
Letter from Alfred J. Pyke, principal of Saskatoon Collegiate Institute (presently named Nutana Collegiate), to Thomas W. Mitchell, Canadian artist, asking if he would be willing to contribute a painting to the Memorial Art Gallery. Pyke provides some important background information about the Memorial Art Gallery, including when it was formed, the reasons for establishing such a gallery, and its purpose. The paintings, however, are supposed to be strictly by Canadian artists. Finally, Pyke says that he particularly likes Mitchell's "The End of the Portage."
