...Geographical Institute. Nowhere is there a permanent exhibit of French photographs, maps, sketches, statues, or paintings; nor is there any logical center for French extra-curricular lectures, or for the now moribund French Club. These basic defects--decentralization and inadequacy--are also found in the Spanish and Italian Departments, and both could be corrected by a Center for Romance Civilization...
...Littauer Center, the Regional Planning offices could probably be transferred to Robinson Hall, and the Naval Science classes might well be conducted in Sever. Thus although some outlay would obviously be necessary--for transfers, alterations, and equipment--the total cost should not be prohibitive; and possibly the French and Italian governments would be willing to contribute.

The painting is Cosimo Dura's "The Adoration of the Magi," a small, round work typical of the best done by that North Italian master. In its sculpturesque modeling and graceful dignity, the work is truly great...
