EDUCATION SCHOOL TO AID FILM PRODUCTION

Active cooperation between the University Film Foundation and the Graduate School of Education in a program of obtaining and producing films of importance in the educational field was the keynote of a meeting of the faculty of the school held last night.

The meeting was arranged by H. W. Holmes '03, Dean of the Graduate School of Education especially to consider in what way Harvard can best cooperate actively with the Foundation in carrying out its plans.

The University has already cooperated to a considerable extent in allowing free use of office space, and in permitting the Foundation to use any of the Harvard equipment or laboratories that are available. In return the Foundation supplies its films to Harvard free of cost.

The production of educational films at Harvard would be of immense value both to the University and to other educational institutions which would be enabled to use them in the opinion of members of the Faculty of the Graduate School of Education and it is in this program that the Graduate School of Education wishes to assist.

Members of the University Film Foundation board of trustees include Oakes Ames '98, supervisor of the Arnold Arboretum and director of the Botanical Museum, president of the Foundation; and as other directors Thomas Barbour '06, director of the University Museum and of the Zoological Museum, C. P. Curtis; Jr. '13, a fellow of Harvard College, H. W. Holmes '03, Dean of the Graduate School of Education, Edward Reynolds '81, curator of the Peabody Museum, and Alexander Hamilton Rice '98, gold medalist of the Royal Geographic Society, scientist, and explorer, who has been given an appointment at the Harvard Medical School.
