HEADLINE: LONDON SCHOOL TO BE MODELED ON FOGG ART MUSEUM
This article elaborates on the plan for a new school at London University dedicated to studying the history of art and training future museum curators.

The text mentions his involvement in planning, as well as the philanthropy of Viscount Lee of Fareham (who intends to bequeath his art collection) and Sir Joseph Duveen (who has pledged $100,000 toward the endowment, with an additional $500,000 promised). The institute will be located in Bloomsbury and its organization will generally follow the model of the Fogg Art Museum.
