• To show Cranach's importance as a graphic artist, the Rosenwald Collection of the National Gallery, Washington, has lent fifty-two woodcuts by the artist, prints of superb quality, the majority recently acquired from a famous Austrian private collection and now on view for the first time in America.
• To this group and to the Cranach prints in the Fogg's permanent collection the Museum of Fine Arts of Boston has added ten prints.
• The students in the Harvard-Radcliffe Music Clubs and the Pierian Brass Choir have offered their talents for the benefit of Rheims.
