6 On the evening of November 21st over 400 Friends of the Fogg and their guests attended a gala preview of the fiftieth anniversary exhibition of "Treasures from the Pierpont Morgan Library." Short talks on various objects in the show were given by Professor Millard Meiss, Associate Professor Seymour Slive, and Miss Barbara Knowles, a graduate student. The 108 items in this exhibition include fine and rare examples of mediaeval and renaissance illuminated manuscripts, early printed books, bindings, literary manuscripts and master drawings. On Sunday afternoon, December 15th, Miss Agnes Morgan, Curator of Drawings, presented a gallery talk on the drawings in this exhibition, which will remain on view through January 4th. On January 11th the Fogg will open another loan exhibition - "Drawings from the Collection of Curtis O. Baer." Miss Morgan has prepared a fully illustrated catalogue. To honor Asia Month (November) the Fogg offered, on November 7th, a lecture by the outstanding Zen scholar, Dr. Shinichi Hisamatsu of Kyoto University, visiting professor at the Divinity School. To a large and appreciative audience Dr. Hisamatsu explained the complex doctrine of the Zen sect of Buddhism. A second lecture on "Illustrations of Zen Art" was given by Dr. Hisamatsu on December 12th. In further honor of Asia Month, the museum placed on exhibition for the first time a large and unusual group of Chinese T'ang tomb figures of the 7th or 8th century A.D. On November 8th the Fogg commemorated the generosity to Harvard of four generations of the Naumburg family. James Naumburg Rosenberg told of the circumstances of the donation of the Naumburg Wing at Fogg, and Tillman Merritt spoke of the extraordinary generosity of Walter Naumburg to the Music Department. On November 30th the Fogg and the Department of Music gave a concert of Bach's "Musical Offering" performed by members of the Cambridge Festival Orchestra. This was held in the courtyard for Friends of the Fogg. During the fall term Dr. Cyril Mango, a visiting lecturer from Dumbarton Oaks, gave a course in Byzantine painting and mosaics. To coordinate with this course, an exhibition of "Figurative Arts of Byzantium" will be on view through January 16th. Milton Anastos, Associate Professor of Byzantine Theology at Dumbarton Oaks and Visiting Associate Professor of Church History, gave a course last term on "Early Christian Art and the Iconoclastic Controversy." In the spring term he will present a course on "The Papacy in the Early History of the Church." During the spring term Professor Louis Groddeck of Paris will give a seminar on "Romanesque Sculpture of the 11th Century in France." Professor Groddeck was a member of the Institute of Advanced Studies, Princeton, in 1949-51, and at present holds a position in the administration of the French Historical monuments. Mr. Charles Chetham, a graduate student candidate for the Ph.D., prepared the handsome and informative catalogue of last summer's loan exhibition of "Modern Painting, Drawing and Sculpture Collected by Louise and Joseph Pulitzer." Mr. Chetham is at present working on the second volume of this catalogue, which will comprise the objects not shown in the Fogg exhibition. Mr. T. Lux Feininger, Fellow in Painting and Drawing, has been invited to show three paintings and a watercolor at the current Biennale at Sao Paolo, Brazil. HARVARD COLLEGE OBSERVATORY: The roof of Building D is seeing active service by members of MOONWATCH, who make visual satellite observations using the facilities erected there by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory with Harvard co-operation. A team of Moonwatchers was in action by 8 p.m. on October 4th, just a few hours after news of the first Russian launching reached Cambridge. Many members of the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston, whose headquarters are at the Observatory, are participating in MOONWATCH under the direction of Mr. Marshall Melin. He is the president of the Amateur Telescope Makers, and is affiliated with the Medical School Department of Biological Chemistry. The teams cover both evening and morning twilight periods and report automatically at assigned hours if they are in a state of alert. This is one of some 200 similar MOONWATCH stations manned by amateur observers throughout the world to track artificial satellites with simple telescopes, and furnish sky positions and times to the Observatory headquarters of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory for the computation of more accurate satellite orbits, speeds, and heights. MUSIC: The Department of Music is pleased to announce that Mr. Shigeo Kishibe, Associate Professor in the University of Tokyo, lecturer at Tokyo University of Arts, and member of the Tokyo
