NEW ART GALLERIES

Yale University is to have an art center, the development of which will be undertaken by the "Associates of Fine Arts at Yale University," an organization similar to "Les Amis de l'Art" at Harvard. An entire city block on the college campus has been designated as the site for an art center which will be erected at a cost exceeding $1,000,000. The first unit of the $100,000 Museum of Art will be begun this summer, and will be followed by the $150,000 Art School. The Museum will be of Spanish Mission type, with a red tiled roof. Robert M. McMeekin is the architect.

The San Antonio Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas (the first of its kind in the state of Texas) is to be built. The San Antonio Museum Association has purchased a site and is now seeking subscriptions to a building fund, which will be defrayed with $25,000 appropriated by the city commissioners. The building will be of Spanish Mission type, and will be erected on the site of the old San Antonio de Valero. The first unit will cost $200,000. The Murray Warner collection of Oriental art, among other exhibits, will be housed in this building.

Between three and four hundred of the best paintings of American art, assembled by the late William A. Clark, are to be presented to the city of Washington by the Corcoran Gallery of Art. The gift is to be made on condition that a building be erected to house the paintings. Until then they will be retained in the Corcoran Gallery.

Davenport, Iowa, has made rapid progress in the establishment of a municipal art gallery, which had its beginning in the old armory, which yielded to the demand for a new building. The city has purchased a site and the new gallery will be erected on the site of the old armory. The new building will be of fireproof construction, and will be equipped with the latest devices for the protection of the art treasures it is expected to house. The city has also purchased a collection of paintings, which will be the nucleus of the gallery. The gift of the late Martin A. Ryerson of Chicago, which was presented to the city by the Art Institute of Chicago, will be the nucleus of the collection. The city has also purchased a collection of paintings, which will be the nucleus of the gallery. The gift of the late Martin A.

EXPERIMENTING BY X-RAY

The first attempt to standardize the X-ray method of examining paintings and to develop its possibilities in the study of the history of art is now being brought about by Alan Burroughs, Curator of Paintings at the Fogg Museum.

The X-ray photographs of paintings of the Italian primitives in the collection of the Fogg Museum, which were taken in the spring of 1924, have been placed at the disposal of the Fogg Museum by the Harvard University. The photographs were taken by Alan Burroughs, who has been engaged in this work for some time. The results of his investigations will be published in the near future.

Mr. Burroughs, who is primarily interested in the history of the art of the early Italian painters, has been engaged in this work for some time. The results of his investigations will be published in the near future.

ART SCHOOLS

Washburn College, Topeka, Kansas, is to open a School of Art in September with a two years' course, leading to a certificate. The school is planned to give the student a foundation enabling him to pursue further studies in art, such as portrait and landscape painting, illustration, and commercial art. In addition to the regular courses, there will be classes in the history of art, English composition and literature, and the appreciation of music. The school will be under the direction of the Topeka Art Guild and the Department of Art of Washburn College, and will be housed in the college building. Mrs. Frances D. Whittemore, director of the School of Art, and Miss Helen L. Smith, assistant director, will be in charge of the school.

ART IN INDUSTRY

The use of art in industry is being brought to the attention of the public by the exhibition of a series of posters, which are being exhibited in the windows of the department stores in New York. The posters are the work of the best artists in the country, and are the result of a competition which was held under the auspices of the Society of Illustrators. The posters are to be sent to the leading cities of the country, and it is hoped that the exhibition will be the means of bringing about a better understanding of the value of art in industry.

ART AND ARCHITECTURE

The close relation of art and architecture is well illustrated in the new building of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, which is now in process of erection on the site of the old building at Broad and Cherry streets in Philadelphia. The new building, which is to be of Georgian type, will be a memorial to the late William A. Clark, who left a bequest of $250,000 for this purpose. The building will be of fireproof construction, and will be equipped with the latest devices for the protection of the art treasures it is expected to house. The city has also purchased a collection of paintings, which will be the nucleus of the gallery. The gift of the late Martin A. Ryerson of Chicago, which was presented to the city by the Art Institute of Chicago, will be the nucleus of the collection.
