Directors of Fogg Museum stated yesterday that "In honor of Professor Tinker's presence, and in appreciation of his great contribution, there could be no more satisfactory culmination to this interesting course than an exhibit of important examples illustrating these lectures. Effort has been made to include as many important examples of the work of each of these artists as it is possible to gather together and there will be shown not only paintings in oil, but water colors and pencil and wash drawings, as well as engravings and mezzotints which pertain to the works shown.

From the last mentioned institution an especially fine Raeburn has been received, a painting entitled. "The Elfenstone Children."
