PATHE EXCHANGE WILL COMBINE WITH SAVANTS

An alliance between Pathe Exchange, Incorporated, and the Division of Anthropology at the University to produce moving picture films of anthropological interest has been approved by the President and Fellows of the College, and will go into effect in the near future.

Over a period of years Pathe Exchange has been collecting in its files anthropological material with a view toward the preparation of films of educational value. The aid of the Harvard Division of Anthropology has been secured in editing and titling this material and in the production of cinema reels dealing with anthropological topics. Pathe Exchange will install at the Peabody Museum apparatus to be used in this process, and will pay a staff of assistants employed to aid in the cutting and splicing of the proposed films. The material now in the possession of Pathe will be turned over to the University experts.

Equal credit will be given to Pathe and to the Harvard savants in the production and disposition of the anthropological films. Several expeditions are being planned by the University for the purpose of collecting additional anthropological materials, and cameramen to take moving pictures of these expeditions will be supplied by the moving picture firm.
