FOGG PLANS TO AID IN CELEBRATION OF NORTON CENTENARY

The plans for commemorating the centenary of the birth of Professor Charles Eliot Norton '46 have been augmented by the announcement of a joint celebration by the Fogg Museum of Art and the Boston Society of the Archaeological Institute.

On the afternoon of November 16, the observance of the centenary will begin with a lecture by Dean Walter Miller of the University of Missouri, which will be held in the large Lecture Room of the Fogg Museum at 4.30 o'clock. The subject of Dean Miller's address will be "The American School of Classical studies at Athens and its Work." Professor Norton dealt with the wonders of the Greeks in his course Fine Arts 3, a course which started with the creation of the Fine Arts department under him in 1873.

The evening of the centennial day will be marked by the third lecture of Professor Eric R. D. Maclagan, holder of the Charles Eliot Norton Chair of Poetry, to be given in the Fogg Museum at 8 o'clock.

The Norton Chair of Poetry was endowed two years ago in honor of the eminent art-lover by the late C. C. Stillman '98, and was held last year for the first time by Professor Gilbert Murray of Oxford.

Following Professor Maclagan's lecture, the University Glee Club will give an informal concert, and the Museum will be open for inspection.

In addition to this celebration, a valuable collection of books given by various Professors in the University in memory of Professor Norton, besides the most valuable volumes of the large library which he himself bequeathed to the University, will be on display during the centennial week in the Treasure Room of Widener Library.
