HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
The directors of the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, in attempting to popularize fine arts, have recently adopted a highly commendable experiment to loan paintings to students to decorate their rooms. It is their contention that real beauty of a painting can better be found while observing it in one's own rooms in surroundings of comparative comfort, rather than in the severe background of a museum.
This should certainly encourage the development for the appreciation of art, for a student is much more likely to take advantage of the opportunity to procure pictures to hang on his walls, than to make regular excursions to the University Museum. It is hoped that with this new plan, two obvious results will be forthcoming. One is to have the students more familiar with works of art, and secondly to give them the opportunity to form their own judgment on the pieces in question.
