Fogg Program Announced for Norton Centenary Celebration

In conjunction with the celebration through which the University is honoring this week the centenary of its first professor of Fine Arts, Charles Eliot Norton '46, the Fogg Museum of Art and the Archaeological institute of America have planned for tomorrow, the centennial day, a joint commemoration ceremony at the Museum. Many additional volumes in memory of Professor Norton have been meanwhile presented to Widener Library, and will be exhibited together with the books from his private collection which are to be on view in the Treasure Room during the coming month.

The celebration at the Fogg Museum tomorrow will open with a lecture by Dean Walter Miller of the University of Missouri, who will speak on "The American School of Classical Studies at Athens and its Work" at 4.30 o'clock in the Large Lecture Hall. In the evening, Professor Eric R. D. Maclagan, Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry, will deliver the third of his lectures on Italian Sculpture in the New Lecture Hall at 8 o'clock Following Professor Maclagan's address, the Harvard Glee Club will give an informal concert in the interior court of the Fogg Museum beginning about 9 o'clock and the Museum will be there after open for public inspection during the remainder of the evening.

Chief among the many gifts of rare volumes presented to Widener Library in commemoration of the Centenary is the entire collection retained by the Norton family, from which the Library may choose at its own discretion. Professor P. J. Sachs '60, Professor C. N. Greenough '98, and Professor G. L. Kittredge 92, together with many graduates and undergraduates, have sent gift-volumes, many of which are on display in the Treasure Room.
