To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

I should like to call the attention of members of the University interested in the Fine Arts to the exhibition of paintings by Dr. Denman W. Ross of the class of 1875, which is now being held at the Boston Art Club at the corner of New bury and Dartmouth streets, and is to remain open only through Saturday, December 9th.

Friends and students of Dr. Ross have long enjoyed the privilege of seeing his paintings at his house, but this is the first public exhibition of any large number of his pictures that has ever been held, and it thus presents a rare opportunity to see his work.

Dr. Ross's painting differs from that of what are usually thought of as professional artists in that it has always been done entirely for his own satisfaction and not for sale to patrons of possibly varying discrimination. Much of it has been done in connection with his study of the principles and methods underlying the work of the great masters, and is thus more or less scientific in its motive. At the same time, however, it reveals to the sensitive observer a rare enthusiasm for the visual beauty to be found in all sorts of objects and scenes in the world about us an enthusiasm which one associates with Dr. Ross not only as a painter, but also as one of the foremost collectors of the world, and as a teacher who has had a profound influence on the study of art not only at Harvard but in the country as a whole.

The exhibition will be open from 11 to 5 for the rest of this week. ARTHUR POPK'01. December 6, 1922.
