Art Advisory Group

FIFTEEN men and women, well known in the field of art, have agreed to serve on the Art Advisory Group of the Hopkins Center. President Dickey, in announcing the formation of the group, said it would assist in planning the art aspects of the new cultural facilities.

This is the second advisory group to be formed in conjunction with the Hopkins Center. The first, announced last spring, was the Theatre Advisory Group, headed by Arthur Hornblow Jr. '15.

William B. Jaffe, New York attorney, art collector and a patron of the College's Carpenter Art Galleries, has been named chairman of the new group. When the Hopkins Center is completed in 1962, its art facilities will include studios, galleries, exhibition halls, workshops and a sculpture court.

Mr. Jaffe said of the Art Advisory Group, "It reflects a broad spectrum of experience in art scholarship, administration and education. We feel very fortunate in getting these art authorities to devote some of their crowded hours to this enterprise."
