urrap arner rt Qnllettinn LLUSTRATING the customs, costumes and manners of the Chinese and Japanese people, their literature, philosophy religion, arts and crafts, the Murray Warner art collection of the University of Oregon was founded for the purpose of aiding as far as possible, the prevention of war between the far east and the Occident. In the spring of 1922, Mrs. Murray Warner presented the collection to the University in honor of her husband, Captain Murray Warner, and since that time additions have been made by Mrs. Warner from time to time. The collection at present contains illustrations of a large num- ber of costumes, many of them shown on specially de- signed figures representing a Ming emperor CChinesej, a Manchu emperor, a soldier, an empress, mongol, a Manchu lady, a priest and a minister. A library supplements these Works of art, and in it the student of the University or visitor to the museum may trace the history of either country, or any matter related to the Orient or connected with the collection. On November 23, 1923, the collection was formally opened to the public. Three large exhibition rooms con- taining glass cases in which the collection is displayed, make an effective background, lighted as they are, with soft indirect lighting in order to produce the most effec- tive showing.
