Professor E. W. Forbes '95, Director of the Fogg Art Museum, has expressed an enthusiastic opinion of the portrait of President Eliot by Charles Hopkinson, nephew of the feted nonagenarian. This canvass, a reproduction of which appears on the front page of the CRIMSON Pictorial Section this morning, will be presented today to the University by the students in all departments...

Collectors will canvass all men in college dormitories who have not yet had an opportunity to contribute. Those who have not been seen may, if they choose mail their checks to Holworthy 6, or bring them to the Crimson Building between 5 and 6 o'clock today. Belated reports form collectors will also be received between those hours...
