Such a find by Professor Morison or whoever it was that discovered this important biographical material--is one of the most rewarding and important tasks of historians and biographers. If every Harvard President could have left such self-revealing notes, to be found by the writers of Harvard's history, that historian's task would be even more thrilling than it is. The biographer of President Eliot--Henry James '99--may welcome the discovery; and future biographers of present and future presidents may look long through "miscellaneous papers in Widener" for pencilled notes of lectures.

For this reason the pictures represent rather a general undercurrent of taste that has remained definitely French, persisting through various vicissitudes, absorbing much of the point of view of the extreme experimenters and revolutionists, but still maintaining its characteristic lightness and deftness of touch. Thus the influence of the great innovators is obvious in much of the painting, now Renoir, now Cezanne, now Matisse or Rousseau or some other modernist; but beneath...
