Through the generosity of Arthur Sachs '01, of New York, a foundation has been established jointly at Harvard and Princeton Universities for the permanent endowment of the publication of "Art Studies", the annual published by the Department of Arts and Archaeology at Princeton and the Division of Fine Arts at Harvard.
The foundation will provide $7,500 annually, half of which go to each university as long as the two institutions continue to cooperate in the publication of "Art Studies". In making the gift, Mr. Sachs said "the creation of this foundation will, I hope, serve to emphasize, among graduates as well as in the public mind, the obvious fact that great universities are bound in friendship through their scholarship relations even more firmly than through their equally desirable relations on the athletic field."
"Art Studies" was started four years ago and is a part of the program at both Harvard and Princeton for furthering serious productive scholarship in the field of Fine Arts. Each annual issue of "Art Studies" contains articles on the important archaeological discoveries of the year, the reports of researches, and other works in the field of Fine Arts. It is published at the Harvard University Press. The editors are Professor A. K. Porter of Harvard and Professor C. R. Morey of Princeton, assisted by four consulting editors from the faculties of the two universities, Professors C. R. Post '04 and P. J. Sachs '00 of Harvard, and Professors F. J. Mather Jr., and E. B. Smith of Boston.
The editors of "Art Studies" have secured also the cooperation of a notable body of 26 international scholars who will act in an advisory capacity. The list includes many of the leading authorities of the world, among whom are Dr. Max Friedlander, a German authority on prints and North European painting, Professor Adolp Goldschmidt, an eminent German Mediaevalist who is to give a series of lectures at Harvard next fall, M. R. James, a well-known English mediaevalist, Dr. A. Warburg, of the University of Hamburg, Paul Pelliot, a French Orientalist. Roger Fry, British author and authority on modern painting, Bernnard Berenson, an eminent authority in the field of Italian painting and Arthur Waley of the British Museum.
