Two special lectures on subjects of interest to art-lovers have been scheduled for next week at the Fogg Art Museum. On Tuesday at 8.15 o'clock Sir E. Denison Ross, District Traveller and Director of the School of Oriental Studies in the London Institute, will speak on "Persian Poetry in Relation to Persian Miniature Painting." Sir Denison is an authority on art and culture in the Orient and has made a special study of Persia.
On Thursday at 4.30 o'clock Professor F. J. Mather Jr. of Princeton University will take as his subject, "'St. Francis Receiving the Stigmata' at the Fogg Art Museum and Other Paintings by Giotto in America." The painting referred to is one of the art treasures of the Museum and is especially valuable as it is one of the few paintings by Giotto in America. Both of the lectures will be given in the large lecture room at the Museum.
