some arrangement might be made with the Water Color Society to devote the Corridor to etchings. – Mr. Bellows coming in later reported that the Council of the Academy had decided to allow the use of half of the South Room during the Water Color Exhibition for the sum of One Hundred&twenty five dollars.
It was decided that if suitable arrangements could be made with the Water Color Society it would be very desirable to hold an Exhibition and the following particulars agreed upon – viz:
The Club to focus the collection:
- to do its own hanging and cataloguing:
- to employ its own salesman:
- to charge a commission of twenty per cent on all sales: all receipts from the source to be turned over to the Water Color Society, to be devoted first – to paying rent of South Room, - Secondly, to paying expenses of hanging the etchings. Thirdly, to paying salary of
salesman, any ballance to belong to the Water Color Society.
The Water Color Society should assume all risks and expenses (except that of salesman) and take all receipts.
It being found impossible to obtain members to sufficient to constitute an Exhibition Committee it was unanimously Resolved – upon motion by Mr. Reinhart seconded by Mr. Church – that the question of holding a special exhibition of etchings be indefinitely postponed.
Etchings were shown as follows. Two by Mr. Gifford – Four by Sabin&Twelve by Dr. Yale.
The meeting adjourned without further business.
