The second annual exhibition of works of art collected by students of the University and Radcliffe College is being held in the water-color room of the New Fogg Museum. The exhibit opened February 11 and will continue until March 1.

The purpose of this exhibition is to stimulate interest in student collecting. Many of the students have acquired objects of art of considerable merit, and this is an opportunity not only for them to exhibit their own acquisitions but to see what others, having similar interests, have deemed worth owning.

The fact that works by moderns form a large percentage of this exposition might seem to indicate a primary interest on the part of the students in the modern rather than the classical. It proves that they are enthusiastic followers of post-war art.

In this connection it is significant, however, that such artists as Rembrandt, Tiepolo and Whistler are represented. Moreover, there are two groups which show a specialization in collecting not unworthy of a museum. One of these is a collection of small engraved silver snuff boxes; the other consists of miniatures comprising examples painted by Copley and Benjamin West. John Paul Jones, Robert Morris, Charles Sumner and two signers of the Declaration of Independence are among the subjects of this collection.

The exhibition is held in connection with Professor P. J. Sachs' course in Museum Problems which presents the practical and theoretical sides of museum work and trains students for this profession. The exhibition is entirely the work of students, no assistance having been given by the Faculty in the matter of selection or arrangement.
