Abstract
A Few weeks ago, on an occasion at which the writer happened to be present, the directors of two American art museums met to discuss the problems that would confront their institutions in case this country entered the war. In one form or another, analogous problems face all who are connected with art at the present time. In event of war, how far can our activities be continued? In what ways, if any, should they be modified to meet the current circumstances? Even without war, what is the bearing upon our work of the intensive militarization now taking place in American life? Under the stress of circumstances, must art be thrust aside, or should it bear man company along the dark paths of his national and international crises? Must artists of promise, if drafted, accept the status of run-of-the-mill soldiers, or should they be given opportunity to serve through their creative gifts? These are questions close to all our minds at the present time.
