Last year the students had an opportunity to watch Mr. Lewis Rubenstein, a young artist who is a recent graduate of Harvard, paint a fresco on the wall of a corridor in the Fogg Museum in the old Italian technique, and it is hoped that it will be possible to give students more such opportunities in the future than they have had in the past...
