Pasted to the reverse is a strong critique of the present exhibiting practice of the Academy. Among the suggested improvements are a widening of scope of the Academy, additional accommodation and a change in the nature of the hang. Lastly the writer pleads for admitance of the press at the private view, which would encourage fair critical reporting.
