ART TREASURES FROM FOGG IN LOWELL HOUSE SHOWING

The activities of Mason Hammond '25, head tutor of Lowell House, have succeeded in procuring for the common rooms of the House an interesting collection of oriental objects d'art, which have been lent by residents and by the Fogg Art Museum for an indefinite period. In the large common room are among other exhibits, three Japanese prints dating from the first contact with modern Europe. They include a sketch on an English lady of uncertain age, a soldier, and the portrait of a Yankee skipper. In the Tutor's common room a sculptured head, collected during the first Harvard expedition to the caves of Northern China, has been put on exhibition, together with a pair of Chinese lions, which are considered of considerable artistic merit.
