The photographs of Greek sculpture now on exhibition in the rooms of the Fine Arts Department on the third floor of Sever Hall have been selected from the portfolios of the department and from the admirable collection now in course of publication in Munich under the superintendence of Brumn, the "Denkmaler griechischer undromischer sculpture," which is received at the library, and when complete will furnish abundant and well selected material for the study of Greek and Roman sculpture.
About one hundred and sixty photographs have been placed on the frames in Sever B, arranged to illustrate the history of the art from the lion gates at Mycenae and the archaic reliefs and statues recently found in Athens and elsewhere down to the times of Scopas and Praxiteles and their pupils. With most of the photographs references are given to the pages of Reber's History of Ancient Art, Perry's Greek and Roman Sculpture, and Murray's History of Greek sculpture where the subjects are described. The room is open to members of the university at any time except Wednesday and Friday afternoons. On Monday and Thursday afternoons this and the other room of the department (Sever 33) where the collections of photographs are kept, are open to students and to the public, and copies of Reber's, Perry's and Murray's works may be had at those times for use in connection with the exhibition of Greek photographs.
The conveniences for displaying a collection of this kind are at present far from what they should be, but for better conditions we must look forward to the new Fogg Museum.
