Gallery has been closed to
the public since the begin-
ning of last November.

Convocation of Oxford

end of July. Mr. Holmes
has held the Slade Pro-
fessorship of Fine Art at
Oxford, and since 1909
has had charge of the
National Portrait Gallery.
He is a prominent member
of the New English Art
Club, at whose exhibitions
he is a regular exhibitor,
and he has published
several books which give
evidence of his wide versa-
tility. At the National
Gallery he will have as his
principal coadjutor another
frequent contributor to the
New English exhibitions,
Mr. C. H. Collins Baker,
who was appointed Keeper
and Secretary some two or
three years ago, and who,
like Mr. Holmes, while
quite modern in his practice
of art, has also shown a
scholarly appreciation of
the older schools. The
office of Director, Keeper,
and Secretary vacated by
Mr. Holmes at the National
Portrait Gallery will be
held by Mr. James D.
Milner, who has hitherto
acted as Clerk and Acting
