• Announcement of awards made on March 11th, 1927

• Twenty-four awards to officers of instruction or administration in the University, in accordance with the provisions of the Milton Fund for Research

• Grants from the Fund are made for not more than two years, and the special committee which considers the applications feels that regular annual grants to the same applicant should be avoided as this tends to limit the freedom of the funds and to prevent the extension of aid to other worthy applicants

• Approximately $40,000 for the coming year (1927-28) has been awarded in grants of varying amounts, and $7,500 for the year following (1928-29)

• Harvard received the legacy, yielding an annual income of about $60,000, in the spring of 1924

• After the death of his wife the bulk of the estate of the late William F. Milton, '38, was to go to Harvard University for the building of a University library, or if the University had a suitable library building, to defray the expenses of any special investigation of a medical, geographical, historical, or scientific nature

• It was further stated that such investigation should be "in the interests of or for promoting the physical and material welfare and prosperity of the human race, or to assist in the discovery and perfecting of any special means of alleviating or curing human disease, or to investigate and determine the value or importance of any discovery or invention, or for any other special or temporary object of the nature above stated"

• A committee was appointed at Harvard, consisting of Frank B. Jewett, electrical engineer, of New York, chairman; Professor Edwin F. Gay of the Department of Economics at Harvard University, and Dr. W. J. V. Osterhout, botanist of the Rockefeller Foundation, to advise the President and Fellows of Harvard College (The Corporation) in making a selection among the investigations proposed by any member of the instructing, scientific, or administrative staff of the University

• Requests for aid in such research were received by the Committee this year up to February 1st

• Louis Allard, Professor of French; to complete the necessary documents for his book on "The Comedy of Manners in France"

"Civilized" Painting

• Editor of The Arts Takes Vigorous Stand for Selective Art
• Forbes Watson, editor of The Arts, speaking yesterday afternoon at the Fogg Art Museum, spoke on the subject of "Civilized Painting"
• We all know that into the work of art there enters a great deal of elimination and selection, and that the artist who is not able to eliminate and select is not an artist at all
• Without the happiest combination of these qualities, which are much more nearly akin to the qualities of the scientist than to those of the artist, we constantly lose the work of art in the mass of the unselective and unselective canvas
• Civilized painting is not merely a matter of technique, but it is a matter of taste and discrimination
• It is not enough to be able to paint well; one must also have a sense of what is good and what is bad
• All the artists who belong to what I have called civilized contemporary art have this sense of discrimination to present in their work something that is worth while, something that is not merely a matter of technique, but something that is a matter of taste and discrimination
• The civilized painter is not only concerned with the technical side of his work, but he is also concerned with the aesthetic side
• He is not only interested in the technical skill of his work, but he is also interested in the beauty and the meaning of his work
• And he is not only concerned with the technical side of his work, but he is also concerned with the emotional and the spiritual side of his work
• He is not only interested in the technical skill of his work, but he is also interested in the emotional and the spiritual meaning of his work
• And he is not only concerned with the technical side of his work, but he is also concerned with the intellectual and the philosophical side of his work
• He is not only interested in the technical skill of his work, but he is also interested in the intellectual and the philosophical meaning of his work
• And he is not only concerned with the technical side of his work, but he is also concerned with the social and the political side of his work
• He is not only interested in the technical skill of his work, but he is also interested in the social and the political meaning of his work
• And he is not only concerned with the technical side of his work, but he is also concerned with the cultural and the historical side of his work
• He is not only interested in the technical skill of his work, but he is also interested in the cultural and the historical meaning of his work
• And he is not only concerned
