Works of Artistic Merit Collected by Undergraduates to Be Shown

The second annual exhibition of works of art which have been collected by students of the University and Radcliffe College, will be held from February 6 until March 1, it was announced at the Fogg Museum yesterday.

The purpose of the exhibition, which last year proved to be very popular, is to stimulate interest in the hobby of art collecting among the students of both institutions. The exhibition is being managed by students themselves in conjunction with the course in Museum Problems which is conducted by Professor P. J. Sachs '00.

The term "objects of artistic merit" will be used as the basis for choice and in the broad sense in which it was used last year. It includes painting, sculpture, prints, drawings, textiles, pottery, glassware and bronzes. It is asked that no student hesitate to submit any object which he owns because of its low market value, since the exhibition will be composed of objects of intrinsic art worth, which term very often is in no direct relationship to monetary value.

All students who own objects of art and who are willing to exhibit them are asked to consult with F. J. Roos or C. H. Platt in the third floor conference room of the Fogg Museum from 11 to 12 o'clock and 4 to 5 o'clock tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday of next week.
