It would guide him in selecting the number & type of specimens.

I told Mr. Culin that it was my understanding that the Fisk Singers would open the exhibit with a concert & that his collection would then remain on view for several days. He tells me that several New York firms have developed textile, dress & even hat designs from some of his African specimens, & probably there will be a similar interest in Chicago.
