In collaboration with the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation, the three traveling exhibitions of reproductions were again circulated through the New England States. Illustrating German painting and prints of the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Modern Times, these exhibitions were shown at the following institutions: Currier Gallery of Art, Manchester, New Hampshire; Glenacres School, Roxbury, Connecticut; Groton School, Groton, Massachusetts; Hillside School, Norwalk, Connecticut; Hotchkiss School, Lakeville, Connecticut; Lyman Allyn Museum, New London, Connecticut; Middlesex School, Concord, Massachusetts; Mt. Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts; Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, New Hampshire; Pomfret School, Pomfret, Connecticut; Roxbury School, Chesire, Connecticut; University of Maine, Orono, Maine; University of New Hampshire, Durham, New Hampshire; Whistler House, Lowell, Massachusetts; Wood Art Gallery, Montpelier, Vermont.
These three exhibitions were so well received that a fourth, German Old Master Drawings, was prepared for circulation in 1937-38.
The Museum, feeling that it can be of service to the community and, through experiments, can add something of value to the field of art education for children, is about to embark on a new project — a class in creative art for children. Since the nature of this undertaking is somewhat removed from the primary purposes of a university museum, an independent corporation entitled the Cambridge Art Center for Children was formed and the work is financed by a special fund contributed by a group of Cambridge citizens. Thanks are due to Mrs. Frederick B. Saunders and Mrs. Charles Whiting for their work in raising this fund. The Art Center will be housed in the Germanic Museum, and a number of the trustees are members of the University. These are as follows: Professor R. D. Feld, Professor Arthur Pope, Professor Robert Ulich, and the curator of the museum.
The Art Center will be open daily after school hours and will be available for all children between the ages of six and eighteen. Under the supervision of an expert instructor, the children will be given an opportunity to do creative and constructive work in many different materials. Records will be kept and a certain amount of sociological case-work will be conducted. The organization will be more concerned with the therapeutic than the artistic value of its activities.
The Oberlaender Trust generously granted a six-months traveling fellowship to the Secretary of the Museum, Miss Laura Huntsinger, for study in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. During her absence, Miss Josephine Berg was Acting Secretary.
The Germanic Museum Association gained twenty new members but, unfortunately, lost eighteen. The total membership is now one hundred six.
For the past seven years, the Museum has conducted new activities and educational experiments. It has held public lectures and concerts, a full and varied schedule of temporary exhibitions; it has brought many unknown aspects of the Fine Arts to the attention of the student body; it has acquired a small but representative collection of original works of art, and has assembled a good working library of books and photographs.
The endowment of the Museum which yields an annual income of about nine thousand five hundred dollars pays for little more than the maintenance of the building and the salaries of its staff. The activities of the institution have depended almost entirely on funds derived from the Germanic Museum Association.
The writer feels that these activities are important and should continue but there is another aspect of the Museum which should be developed. As an institution devoted to Germanic culture, it should be the physical headquarters of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures and should offer research opportunities for all fields of Germanic scholarship. The rapid increase in the number of German scholars in this country, it is safe to predict, will stimulate a greater interest in Germanic scholarship than has ever existed in the past. This can clearly be seen in the study of the Fine Arts, the field with which the writer is best acquainted. At the present time almost a dozen

The image displays pages 4 and 5 of a document related to the Germanic Museum. Here is a detailed summary of the contents:
The Germanic Museum collaborated with the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation to circulate three traveling exhibitions of reproductions throughout New England. These exhibitions focused on German painting and prints from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Modern Times. The exhibitions were hosted by several institutions, including:
These exhibitions were well-received, prompting the preparation of a fourth exhibition, "German Old Master Drawings," for circulation in 1937-38.
The Museum initiated a project to offer art education for children, aiming to contribute to the community. This project was an independent endeavor, funded by a special contribution from Cambridge citizens, with Mrs. Frederick B. Saunders and Mrs. Charles Whiting playing key roles in raising the funds. The Cambridge Art Center for Children was established within the Germanic Museum, supervised by a team including Professors R. D. Field, Arthur Pope, and Robert Ulich, and the museum's curator. The center will provide daily after-school art classes for children aged six to eighteen.
The Oberlaender Trust generously provided a six-month fellowship to Miss Laura Huntsinger for studies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Miss Josephine Berg acted as the Secretary during Huntsinger's absence.
The Germanic Museum Association gained twenty new members, bringing the total membership to one hundred and six, despite losing eighteen members.
Over the past seven years, the museum has engaged in various activities and educational experiments, including public lectures, concerts, temporary exhibitions, and the acquisition of an art collection and library. The museum’s income of approximately nine thousand five hundred dollars annually supports its staff and activities. The writer emphasizes the importance of continuing these activities and suggests that the museum should become the headquarters for the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, offering research opportunities for German scholarship. The writer predicts increased interest in German scholarship, especially in the field of Fine Arts, and expresses confidence in the museum’s future.
The image displays two pages from an annual report of the Germanic Museum, covering several key areas of activity and future plans.
The Germanic Museum, in collaboration with the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation, organized three traveling exhibitions of reproductions. These exhibitions showcased German painting and prints from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Modern Times. They were circulated throughout the New England states and were displayed at various institutions, including:
These exhibitions were well-received, leading to the preparation of a fourth exhibition featuring German Old Master Drawings for circulation in 1937-38.
The Museum initiated a program aimed at educating children about art. This effort was supported by the Cambridge Art Center for Children, financed by a special fund from a group of Cambridge citizens. The primary goal was to engage children in creative and constructive art projects. The Art Center, housed in the Germanic Museum, would be available for children aged six to eighteen and would be supervised by expert instructors. The trustees of the Art Center included:
The Oberlaender Trust granted a six-month traveling fellowship to the Museum’s Secretary, Miss Laura Huntsinger, for a study trip in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. During her absence, Miss Josephine Berg served as Acting Secretary.
The Germanic Museum Association saw an increase in membership, gaining twenty new members but unfortunately losing eighteen, bringing the total membership to one hundred six.
The Museum had conducted several new activities and educational experiments over the past seven years. These included:
The Museum aimed to expand its collections and enhance its library of books and photographs. The endowment of the Museum provided a modest annual income, which was insufficient to cover the maintenance and salaries, relying heavily on funds from the Germanic Museum Association.
The writer suggested developing another aspect of the Museum to ensure its continued importance. Specifically, they proposed that the Museum should become the primary physical headquarters for the study of Germanic Languages and Literatures, offering significant research opportunities for scholars in these fields. This expansion would stimulate greater interest in Germanic scholarship and support the existing focus on the Fine Arts.
