The annual report of the Fogg Art Musueum for 1906-07, prepared by Professor Charles H. Moore, begins by enumerating the accessions of the Museum during the year. These additions include an old Italian painting, several of Turner's drawings, 670 additions to the photograph collection, and 89 additions to the collection of slides.
The museum library has acquired 37 new volumes by purchase, gift and exchange. The library also contains about 39.370 photographs and 3,654 slides and lists and catalogues of works and galleries have been made. Increasing use of facilities in the museum has been made by members of the University for the purpose of study. The prints of the Randall and Gray collections have been catalogued, and are valuable to students.
Professor Moore closes his report with an earnest demonstration of the museum's need of funds. The valuable objects which are donated to the museum cannot be properly exhibited, and many chances for the cheap acquisition of valuable articles have been lost through lack of money. Additional space is also needed.
