Platt had previously designed the Freer Gallery in Washington and the Addison Gal- lery of American Art at Andover. Built at the cost of some $400,000, the building was formally opened on March 2, 1932. The building is made of native granite and is trimmed with Vermont granite; it is glass roofed, has a large Doric portico and contains 13 galleries, studio areas, an excellent ref- erence library, and a restoration Iab- oratory. Since the erection of the orig- inal building, a wing has been added to the north side of the Museum. This addition was made possible by the gen- erous bequest of Miss Virginia Palmer in 1936. This is the same Palmer family who have contributed the Li- brary and the Auditorium to the Col" lege. The Museum until 1950 was man- aged by a paid Director and the usual staff of two secretaries and guards. As the years progressed, it became increas- ingly apparent that the income from the bequest was not sufficient to run the Museum in a manner which could enable it to operate to full efficiency. Repairs of an extensive nature were needed, such as redoing the whole in- terior of the building- and installing a new furnace. In order to make these major repairs, to increase the service of the Museum to the community, and to The decrease the managerial and mainte- nance expenses, the President of the College, Miss Rosemary Park, was in- vited to become the new Director, and Lyman Allyn Museum she is contributing her services in this capacity without charge.

Several pur- chases have been made along that line including a picturesque mountain scene by Salvator Rosa, an early 15th Cen- tury Florentine Annunciation, an 18th Century English landscape by Thomas Barker of Bath, and a Sienese head of St. Catherine. It is useful to have such a widely rounded collection in that there is no other museum of art in the nearby area. Also, these paintings serve as a useful correlation wirh art courses offered at the College. Several students have done papers on paintings and drawings in the Museum collec- tion, and thus the art works are a source of original, creative research. It is certainly more interesting to work from an original work rather than to refer constantly to photographs and re- Jared texts.

Nline with this desire to widen ~he IMuseum holdings, a great many gIfts have been received of paintings of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Mr. Daniel Goldberg of New York has been especially helpful and through hIS generosity such names as Renoir, De- rain, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Degas are represented. Several art objects either donated or bequeathed to the College are now on permanent loan to the Mu- seum. One interesting item always on display is a fine Connecticut chest made in Wethersfield about 1675 which was a bequest to the College from Miss Mary Bulkeley. Aside from paintings and drawin~s, the Museum also displays an exten~lve collection of furniture, silver, china, pottery and glass.

The Museum is prepared to accept art objects, should any of you have anything which you would like to donate. The Museum provides in- structive and varied exhibitions, gallery space for student shows in April and again at commencement time, and ma- terial which students can study in dir- ect contact and through lengthy expo- sure.

A Weekend To Remember

LUMNAE COUNCIL has over the years become one of the highlights of the Alumnae Association A program. The dates for 1959's Council are March 6th, 7th and 8th. The weekend will bring together the Presidents of Clubs and Classes and the Executive Board of the Alumnae Association. It is the informed alumna who is the effective alumna, and the purpose of the Council is to provide Councilors with three-fold information - about the Alumnae Association, about today's Connecticut Col- lege, about other clubs and classes. To this end, therefore, delegates will meet the members of the Ex- ecutive Board of the Association and, by sitting in an open Board meeting, will have a chance to learn how this body of elected officers functions. They will hear members of the College administration, faculty and student body talk about the concerns and satisfactions of the Connecticut College community from various points of view. And they will have the opportunity to discuss freely with other class and club officers their mutual problems - the time-tested theory being that many heads thinking together often achieve mutual- ly beneficial solutions. All in all, Alumnae Council this year should be what it has been in the past _ stimulating and in- formative. In other words, it's a must for all Presidents of Clubs and Classes.
