A NEW COLUMN

With the publication in this morning's issue of the column headed "Collections and Critiques" the CRIMSON is adding another feature to its pages.

The purpose of this new department is a simple one. Harvard University contains within it what are generally accepted to be among the finest, most complete and most active museums connected with any institution of learning. Indeed, museums having the excellence of the University Museum and the new Fogg Museum--not to mention the many other less known similar organizations--are a rarety anywhere. In addition to all this, the Widener Library with its great collections is among the very first in rank of the libraries of the world.

It is the activities and work of these institutions which the CRIMSON's new feature, will attempt to present. Along with the purely factual presentation of the news dealing with such matters as new acquisitions and exhibitions it is intended to give a more or less critical and in any case authoritative discussion of the subject by some one fitted to do so. In this way it is expected that not only will the various museums and the libraries receive more just and intelligent comment, but also that those interested in the matters which the column will take up will be furnished with a clear and sound criticism.
