CAMOUFLAGE UNIT WILL BEGIN SOON

A special course in Industrial Camouflage is to be given in the second session of the Harvard Summer School, the Department of Fine Arts announced yesterday. The course will deal with modern camouflage techniques chiefly as applied to large fixed installations; its primary purpose being the training of students directly for the practice of industrial camouflage designing in connection with the civilian defense program.

Although it will not begin until August 17, the course will end with the other second session courses on September 19. There will be three two-hour lectures per week, (tentatively Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 2 to 4 o'clock) plus approximately five hours at laboratory work per week. Those passing the course will receive regular course credit.

Experience Expected

For admission to the course some previous training or experience and preferably professional standing in one or another of the following fields is expected: painting (or sculpture); architecture; landscape architecture; engineering; commercial art and certain other specifically related fields. Should there be more applications than can be accommodated, priority will be given to those of active professional status in these fields.

Applications, preferably in letter form and containing a brief statement of the applicant's previous training and experience, should be addressed to W. O. Judkind, the instructor in charge, at the Fogg Museum of Art.
