...addition to the splendid Piero di Cosmo, recently described in these columns and now on loan at the Fogg Museum, that institution has also received as a loan from the Messrs. Duveen in New York a well-preserved tempera painting on panel of the "Virgin and Child," an Italian work of art of the 15th century by the Sienese painter, Matteo di Giovann di Bartolo, called Matteo di Siena (1435 1495). This important picture was formerly in the collection of Sir Philip Burne-Jones...
...splendid predicament when an early morning hour for drill has to be added in order to accommodate the number of men applying for admission into the Corps. Now that the University authorities have made it possible for further enrolment many men who at first found it impossible to join the unit on account of laboratory classes ought to reconsider the question.

The Harvard course has the approval and support of the War Department. The program of training as mapped...
...play was exceptionally well acted in every detail. Miss Fulton, the author, lived the title role. Never once did she lose her grasp on character or audience. Her slang was never forced, her humor was always delicate and unflagging, and she extracted every particle of sympathetic enjoyment from a splendid characterization. The supporting company was a wonderful relief from those we usually see here in "the provinces." Mr. Stone as the genius played a none too clearly written role with fine care and insight, while the young brother was kept simple and unaffectedly sincere by Mr. Lowe. Miss Ives played...
