FOR INVETERATE VAGABONDS

The announcements of new collections to be on exhibit at the Fogg Museum during the next few weeks, and of Mr. Wacc's lecture, should prove of considerable interest to those with artistic inclinations Although the exhibits themselves may not be of startling importance, yet they are a further indication of an ever-increasing trend in education throughout the country as well as at Harvard, to teach a subject by first arousing the interest of the student. This applies to students in general, as well as those in Fine Arts, who come to college hoping for a broader field of education than was possible a generation ago. Here is the opportunity for casual observation which may, in the long run, arouse appreciably more interest than the rigors of a class-room course.

Such exhibitions and lectures are worth while in any field, and there will doubtless be numerous persons, in whose minds there may linger some doubts or much curiosity on the subjects of lithographic works, Flemish tapestries, or Persian paintings, who will gratefully take advantage of these.
