It Is the opinion of the Law staff h r th sh could make bsolutely no valfd l 'gal claim, but If w re to nd the work to rlborough she might be abl to in titut a nuisance suit on th grou that sh had not giv nth w rk forth commerci I odv t th University but only for ih sthetic njoyment . It w thought unllk ly that sh would institute a suit on such a flimsy is, but pa ici lon in o

rlborough show hardly se m Important enough to Jnvalv ven a sm II risk . She woul lik to exchCI'l a painting by Braque that sh owns for our I P lloek. Her only is of claim, In effect, is that by dbplayi th work in a stud nt r fectory -which has
