COLLECTIONS AT FOGG INCREASED

The annual report of the director of the Fogg Art Museum, enumerating recent additions, states that the collection of classical antiquities has been enriched by a fragment of a fourth century Greek marble head in the style of Scopas, a gift of E. P. Warren '83. Four examples of Gandhara sculpture were bought by a few friends and given to the Museum, and two others were received from B. A. G. Fuller '00. A gift of money for the collection of classical antiquities in memory of G. G. Van Rensselaer '96, enabled Dr. Chase to buy a Greek head in the style of Scopas. From Richard Norton '92, a gift of 8 small ancient objects was received.

Three valuable prints have been added to the Gray Collection by purchase: Christ calling Peter and Andrew, by Dirick Jacobsz Vellert; The Holy Family with Saint Elizabeth, by Jacopo de 'Barbari; the Beheading of Saint Catherine, by Domenico Campognola; and to the Randall Collection one print, the Prophet Jeremiah, engraved by an anonymous Italian master of the fifteenth century.

The report remarks upon the improvement of the galleries and working rooms of the second story. The ceiling of the main gallery has been raised 18 inches and constructed entirely of glass. The main gallery and the print room have both gained exhibition space. The small lecture room is to be improved and used also as a print study room. The ceiling of the photograph room has been raised so that when the collection grows sufficiently an iron balcony can be installed and cases can be built to the ceiling. The most useful improvements have been the raising and enlarging of skylights and windows in a number of the rooms, the creation of an office and stenographer's room on the second floor, and the arrangement of storage rooms and work rooms over the large lecture hall, a space hitherto unused.
