A Century Noted

The hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Yale Gallery of Fine Arts, the earliest college art museum building in America, will be celebrated on the afternoon of October 29 under the auspices of the "Associates in Fine Arts at Yale University." William H. Wright, director of the Gallery and board of trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, will speak on the history of the Gallery. The Yale Gallery was opened only two years after the Munich Glyptothek, the first art museum built in the 19th century, and two years after the National Gallery in London was opened. It antedates the Metropolitan Museum or the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

The present building, the gift of John W. Sterling, was erected in 1916. It is fifty-seven years old. It was the first building erected at Philadelphia and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the first of the Fogg Museum at Harvard.

The present exhibition at the Yale Gallery (only a third of which has been built) is now hung for the occasion with an important collection of paintings, drawings, maps and models, which were assembled in the two rooms on the sky-lit floor, the second and third floors of the building, on the twenty-ninth of October, 1932. Here is

Colonel John Trumbull's collection which was bequeathed to Yale in 1841 for a small annuity to his widow, and which is now on exhibition. Trumbull, a native of Lebanon, Connecticut, who was born in 1756, was a soldier of the Revolutionary War and a friend of most of its leaders.
