STUDENTS FOUND NEW ART SOCIETY

Last night at a dinner held at the home of Professor P. J. Sachs '00, a new University organization, the "Harvard Society for Contemporary Art, Incorporated" was founded. This society has been formed to meet the need felt for exhibitions of works of art in all fields of contemporary endeavor, and will hold exhibits in Cambridge.

The organization, started by three undergraduates. Lincoln Kirstein '30, John Walker '30, and E. M. M. Warburg '30, will have an exhibition room in Harvard Square in which monthly exhibits of the graphic arts, as well as sculpture will be shown. They will be made up of two types of work; those by contemporary artists which will sell at a price low enough to be within the buying range of the average student, and works by contemporary artists of established reputation, which will be loaned by collectors in Boston and New York.

A series of exhibits already planned includes one on contemporary American art, in every field, one on decorative art, one on the "London School" of painters, one on works of arts by Harvard students, and one on modern French and German book printing.

The organization will not be self supporting and in order to cover the annual budget which has been estimated at $6,000, it will have a membership in which there will be three types of subscription. Sustaining members will be those that contribute over $50, contributing members those that contribute $25 or $10, and membership for Harvard or Radcliffe students will be $2. Members of the society will have special privileges.

A board of 7 trustees, made up partly of Harvard professors, and partly by collectors interested in the organization will act as an advisory body. The trustees are Professors P. J. Sachs '00, Arthur Pope '01, E. W. Forbes '95, Mr. Arthur Sachs '04, Mr. Felix M. Warburg, Mr. J. N. Brown '24, and Philip Hofer '21.
