A New Low
In a desperate attempt to help the boys remember the order of columns, I stooped to a dreadful acronym as a mnemonic device. (I used to have trouble remembering which comes first, Doric or Ionic, so I sympathize.) OK, kids, it's Doric, Ionic, Corinthian. They laughed a lot, but they also remember their columns. It would have saved me a lot of trouble if I had shown up for art history tests chanting, "dic, dic, dic."
