	Syracuse University and Mestrovic - Eleanor Milne Album (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		leanor Milne decided to study with Ivan Mestrovic (1883–1962) at Syracuse University after a friend advised her that the Croatian sculptor was similarly concerned with issues of the spirit.
		rom Mestrovic, Milne received confirmation of the necessity for total dedication and learned that care should be taken not to compromise one's integrity as a person or an artist when one is engaged in public commissions.
		As an expressionist sculptor whose work borrowed freely but never directly from the art of medieval Europe, Mestrovic also served as a profoundly important stylistic reference point for Milne; an affiliation she would be the last to deny, and one that would stand her in great stead as Dominion Sculptor.
