It was announced yesterday that there will open on November 12, in the Fogg Art Museum, an exhibition of works of art collected by students at the University and Radcliffe. All students who own objects of art interest and who are willing to exhibit them, are asked to consult Mr. J. J. Rorimer in the Fogg Print Room on Monday from 10 to 11 o'clock, Wednesday from 2 to 3:15, and on Thursday from 11 to 12.
The purpose of the exhibit is primarily to stimulate interest in art-collecting as a hobby.
The term "objects of artistic merit" is used in a broad sense, to embrace painting, sculpture, prints, drawings, pottery, glassware, textiles, brassware, pewter bronzes and ironwork. Although the objects submitted will be subject to approval, any articles having intrinsic art value will be accepted. As this is the first exhibit of the kind, there are no established traditions, and students may hesitate to offer their cherished bits, for this reason, it is asked that it be understood that the actual market prices, if such there be for works of art, have no bearing on the value for the exhibit.
All objects for the exhibition should be submitted before November 7.
