Paul J. Sachs '00, emeritus professor of Fine Arts yesterday gifted the University with his "Shady Hill" estate in return for a birthday present consisting of a special exhibit of seventy rare drawings at the Fogg Art Museum.

Announcement of the exhibition, beginning today for six weeks, came Saturday at a party honoring his seventieth birthday, attended by 300 of the professor's friends. The University revealed the professor's gift of the Cambridge landmark yesterday. The house and grounds served as the home of two other Harvard professors and has been occupied by Professor and Mrs. Sachs for 34 years.

The professor is one of America's foremost art connoisseurs and the drawings are the kind of works most admired by him. Forty different museums, galleries, and private collections loaned the exhibits to the Museum. They are examples only of European masters from the fourteenth to the fifteenth centuries, including "old favorites" and rare, but lesser known works. Names like Michelangelo, da Vinci, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Van Dyck adorn the canvasses.
