NO BOGUS ART "TREASURES" HAVE BEEN SOLD TO HARVARD

Jury of Fine Arts Faculty Must Pass on All Purchases at Fogg

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

According to information received at the Fogg Museum of Art, no bogus art "treasures" have been foisted upon Harvard, as all objects submitted to the museum must first be passed on by a jury composed of the Fine Arts Faculty, a group of highly qualified art judges.

A scare of "fake" was thrown into the art world a few days ago when the Boston newspapers revealed that the Boston Museum of Fine Arts had been fleeced of nearly $100,000 for spurious paintings among which was a highly prized canvas supposed to have been by El Greco. As responsibility for acceptance to the Fogg Museum rests with a large jury rather than with a single man, the possibilities of such accident are reduced to a minimum.
