- Scope and Content:
- Knight writes that it has been agreed by the General Assembly that a room in the new building should be dedicated to watercolors. Knight adds that discussions with the various watercolor societies have determined that the watercolors should not be hung with mounts but "'panned[?] close' like as oil painting." Knight adds "if mounts were to be permitted one quarter or one fifth of the exhibition space given to water color art would be sacrificed to white paper - so you will perceive the council has not proceeded in this matter without consideration."
