Directors Grateful

Albert B. Ruddock, president of the Art Institute, today voiced the gratification of the Directors that a suitable home for the Museum had at last been found. He paid high tribute to Miss Nicholson for her public-spirited gift; to Lawrence C. Hall, his predecessor, under whom negotiations had been initiated, and to Stanley Hahn, secretary, who handled the legal negotiations for the Institute.

Mr. Ruddock declared that acquisition of the Nicholson Building, with its central location and beautiful setting, offers a splendid opportunity for the development of a cultural center for the people of the community. He said, the Art Institute stands ready to carry out a rich program of museum activities of varied interest to every one. Pointing out that the Institute is dedicated to serve the public, he expressed confidence that adequate support will be forthcoming to realize the ideals implict in the gift. He also expressed appreciation of the confidence indicated by the City Directors in accepting this newest addition to the Pasadena Civic Center.

Plans Due Soon

A statement of the immediate program and plans for increasing the membership of the Art Institute will be announced soon.

An early opportunity will be given the citizens of Pasadena to attend open house at the Institute at which time they can inspect the premises and see its varied facilities, as well as visit a new exhibition based on the works of Leonardo da Vinci.
