The news that Princeton is about to erect a new Art School ought to awaken in the university some similar plan of advancing this important branch of study. Harvard has very little to boast of in the way of art collections if we except the plaster casts placed without much show o system in the various recitation rooms, the art publications in the library, and the very meagre collection of models and drawings owned by the Art Department. The treasures treasured in the rooms of the Harvard Art Club cannot with justice be counted among Harvard's collections, as it is not educational material, being exposed to the view of a few favored ones only. A large number of students take courses in Fine Arts, and believe that a movement to bring these men into closer association with one another by some means or other would improve the work they are doing. Whether it be the already existing Art Club that takes the initiative, or the instructors in the art department, something ought to be done towards encouraging further collections of good artistic productions. The educational influence of plaster and painted works of art is too well known to need further support. Though the Boston Museum of Art affords a very fine store of such works, we very much fear that the number of Harvard men to be found in its halls is small. If we had even a much inferior collection near at hand, good results would no doubt follow.
