Content Description
He describes the way that the British Academy in Rome has decided to organise its finances; they have discovered that with every good intention, artists are not skilled financial managers;
Mr. Severn was elected treasurer, but it is apprarent that he is more suited to the artist's portfolio than the accountant's one; the result is that they have appointed Signor Brunelli, former British Vice-Consul, to keep the accounts.
