forum of the Central High School, un.
der the auspices of the Washington
Society Of the Fine Arts. Mr.. Walk
er has been a lecturer on the fine arts
at Harvard University and for the
American Institute of Architects. He
was at one time associated with the
school of the Boston Museum of Fine

aware of the merit of contemporary do
