Art: Carnegie Germs

Fifteen thousand dollars dropped from the treasury of the Carnegie Corporation last week as the germ of a series of Carnegie Summer Art Centers, traveling lectureships, scholarships at universities throughout the country. Two-thirds of the germ landed at Harvard where instructors and graduate students from 20 U. S. colleges will attend lectures in the new Fogg Art Museum given by bushy-mustached George Harold Edgell, dean of the Harvard School of Architecture and dapper Paul Joseph Sachs, associate director of the Fogg Museum, brother of Banker Walter Edward (Goldman) Sachs.

The remaining $5,000 landed on: the other edge of the continent at the University of Oregon where similar, lectures will be given by Professor W. R. B. Willcox and Dr. Kiang Kang Hu of the Congressional Library, Washington, D. C. Since Oregon has recently been made recipient of the immensely valuable Murray Warner collection of Oriental art, this year’s lectures will be chiefly devoted to the art and architecture of China and Japan.
