...catalogue has been in the complete charge of E. W. Forbes '95, Director of the Fogg Art Museum. In the book has been included a series of articles by members of the museum staff, dealing will Byzantine and Primitive Art, including Early Italian, Florentine, North Italian, and Venetian. The early development of painting in France, Flanders, Germany, Spain, and England has also been briefly discussed in short introductions to the sections devoted to these countries...
Such are the titillating, fantastic words that concluded your editorial of December 3 entitled "Italian Paradoxes." The trouble with that exotic, damaging wind up is that the conclusion has been grounded on a groundless minor premise which somehow seems to have crept into many a superficial, unhistorical mind.

The question of supplying raw materials and credit must depend largely on the improvement of Italy's precarious financial situation. As for d'Annunzio--we would like to see a drive started to raise funds for sending him and his army to capture Shantung for the Chinese...
Leaving the purely literary publications, a large division of the catalogue is devoted to business and public affairs. The books of six professors in the University are given, dealing with all aspects of the many economic questions. R. F. Foerster's book on "Italian Emigration," which will be ready for sale in a few days, has been declared the best and most authoritative book published on this question. The last group comprises seven books on the collected addresses of Elihu Root, LL.D., '07, edited by Robert Bacon '94 and James B. Scott...
