NEW WING OF FOGG TO BE DEDICATED NEXT WEDNESDAY

Formal dedication of the new east wing of the Fogg Art Museum, containing the Naumberg Art Collection, will take place on November 9 at 3 o'clock before guests of the museum. Speakers t the dedication will include President Lowell and Mr. James N. Rosenberg of New York. The following day the wing will be open for public inspection.

The new wing will be used principally to house the collection given to the University in 1930 by Mrs. Aaron Naumberg of New York. Included in the collection is Rembrandt's famous "Portrait of an Old Man", and also noted paintings by Franz Hals, Bartolomeo Murillo, Lorenzo di Credi, El Greco and others.

Replica of Residence

Principal rooms in the new wing have been reproduced from the Naumberg home in New York. The entrance to the east wing is through a passageway leading into a room which is a original furniture and decorations. Two other rooms correspond to the former living room and balcony, with a connecting foyer and stairway. In these rooms the paintings and other works of the collection have been placed in an informal manner, corresponding to the Farnsworth Room in Widener Library. This is in accord with the terms of the bequest, by which Mrs. Naumberg requested that as little as possible of the formal atmosphere be created.

Students will be permitted to use these rooms for study and discussion of art.

Architects of the new wing are Coolidge, Shepley, Bullfinch and Abbott, and the directors of the Fogg Art Museum, Dr. E. W. Forbes and Professor P. S. Sachs.
