Since last September, several important additions have been made to the permanent art collection at the Fogg Art Museum. Professor A. C. Coolidge '87 has given several reproductions of Albrecht Durer's wood-cuts, including "The Apocalypse," "Large and Small Passions," and "Life of the Virgin." Professor Coolidge has also donated a copy of Anton Springer's "Albrecht Durer."

A drawing by Vernet, an etching by Boissieu, and a rare book entitled "Tableaux de l'Histoire Romaine," have been given by Miss Simmons.

Mr. John Woodbury has given a notable series of eleven etchings of historic buildings in Boston, by S. L. Smith, D. Y. Cameron, Haig, and others.

Among the purchases for the Gray Collection are: "The Triumph of Chastity," a fifteenth century Italian engraving; two wood-cuts of the Passion after Lucas Cranach; and an incunabulum, "Book of Hours," printed on vellum, and illustrated with relief engravings on metals.
