Brief and simple exercises at which President Lowell presided, dedicated the new Fogg Museum yesterday morning.

Following a rendition of "Bach's "Suite in B Minor", played from the balcony which surrounds the court and by an eighteenth century ensemble, President Lowell spoke a few words in praise of the architect, Charles A. Coolidge '81. Bishop William Lawrence '71 delivered the prayer, and Professor Charles H. Grandgent '83 gave his poem. Then Mr. Coolidge presented the keys of the building to President Lowell who in turn passed them on to Mr. E. W. Forbes '95, the director. Then the Glee Club sang three selections before the audience was invited to inspect the building.

Professor Grandgent gave his poem, entitled "A Dream", at the conclusion of President Lowell's remark that the lieving that the three great arts should make part of a common program this building will be dedicated with poetry and music." It was delivered as follow:

A DREAM

The story of a dream, a real dream

Dreamt by a little lad of twelve or so

Full a half a century and more age;

A fantasy, but one of those which seem,

No only at the time, but afterward alway,

As truly lived as aught we live by day.

Late had he sat, this lad of twelve or so,

Devouring, by the lamp's declining gleam,

The haunting lines of Edgar Allan Poe.

"Oh! nothing earthly" save the ray

(Thrown back from flowers) or Beauty's eye,
