Anthropological Society Lecture.

Under the auspices of the Anthropological Society Dr. Clark Wisler spoke last night in the Fogg Lecture Room on "The art of the American Indian." Dr. Wisler explained, with the aid of the stereopticon, the several stages of transition in Indian art and the two theories upheld in regard to the development of existing designs. One theory is that present geometrical patterns are the out-growth of primitive realistic ideas, embroidered or carved on bone and Ivory: while another and less probable theory is that all designs which were originally in the shape of diagrams, have gradually developed into more or less lifelike forms.
