...well over a dozen years since the Japan Society of New York got together a number of important Japanese works of art in a special exhibition. Since that time there has been no chance in America to see such things except in the comparatively monotonous form in which they are set out by the few museums which posess them. Mr. Charles Baine Hoyt's loan collection, just opened at the Fogg Museum, is therefore of more than local interest.

Though there are some who might wish that the growth and development, indeed the mere maintainance, of American universities did not depend so much on a highly refined and generally accepted form of begging, no fault is to be found with those who carry on this occupation for worthy ends. One may be annoyed, just as perhaps one is by the Salvation Army canvas on the Larz Anderson Bridge, but the worthiness of the cause would seem to be sufficient justification of the means employed in furthering...
