The image displays an open page from what appears to be a document or report, specifically page 3. The text discusses various ways in which members of a Visiting Committee can contribute to an institution, likely a university.

1. Collectors' Assistance:

   • The committee members, many of whom are collectors, can help guide the direction of art acquisitions.

2. Busch-Reisinger Museum Association:

   • Membership in the Busch-Reisinger Museum Association has provided funds for the committee’s activities and art purchases. The membership has grown, and the committee is encouraged to further increase participation through their personal networks and contacts.

3. Departmental Assistance:

   • The committee is also tasked with assisting the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures in solving its various problems. This dual role is why the Curator proposed splitting the committee into two subcommittees: one for the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, and one for the Museum.
   • The division into subcommittees is supported by the Board of Overseers, which favors a policy of rotation to keep meetings dynamic and introduce new faces.
   • The Curator suggests that the museum subcommittee could benefit from collectors and professional colleagues who may not have a strong interest in the teaching of modern languages.

The text concludes by noting that there are likely many Germanists in the department who have little interest in the museum-related tasks.

The image shows an open book with a page of text that appears to be discussing the roles and activities of a committee associated with a university, likely focused on art and languages, specifically German.

Here is a detailed summary of the text:

1. Connecting with Collectors:

   • The committee members can assist by leveraging their knowledge of art collectors. Many members of the Visiting Committee are acquainted with collectors and can guide the acquisition of artworks for the university's collection.

2. Supporting the Busch-Reisinger Museum Association:

   • Members can contribute to the Busch-Reisinger Museum Association through membership fees, which provide funds for the museum's activities and art purchases. The text suggests that increasing membership and encouraging committee members to recruit new members could significantly help the museum's growth.

3. Assisting the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures:

   • The committee is also tasked with helping the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures address its challenges. This dual responsibility has led to discussions about splitting the committee into two subcommittees: one for the museum and one for the department.
   • The Curator has proposed this division due to the policy of rotation, which brings new members to meetings. This rotation policy ensures that new individuals with different expertise and connections can contribute.
   • The Curator mentions that while many collectors and colleagues might be interested in aiding the museum, their interest in the department's language teaching issues may be limited. Conversely, there are many Germanists in the department who may not have much interest in the museum's concerns.

4. Rotation Policy: The Board of Overseers favors a rotation policy, which means new members will frequently join the meetings. This rotation is intended to bring fresh perspectives.

5. Diverse Interests: The Curator acknowledges that while many collectors and professionals can assist the museum, their primary interest might lie in the teaching aspects of the Germanic languages rather than the museum itself. Conversely, there are likely many Germanists (scholars of Germanic studies) who have little interest in the museum.

Overall, the text emphasizes the importance of active participation and networking by committee members to support and grow the museum's activities and resources.

University. Surely many members of the Visiting Committee know collectors, and they can be of great help in steering works of art in our direction.

A third way in which the members can be of assistance is in the development of the Busch-Reisinger Museum Association. Membership fees in this Association have supplied us with funds for most of our activities and for occasional purchases of works of art. Over the years we have increased our membership, and we feel it would grow more rapidly with the active participation of the Committee and through their personal contacts with people interested in our aims, who might be persuaded to join the Association.

This is a great deal to ask of a Committee which is organized also for the purpose of assisting the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures in solving its many problems. It was partly for this reason that the Curator spoke to the proposition of dividing the Committee into two subcommittees—one for the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures and one for the Museum. Because of the policy of rotation favored by the Board of Overseers, new faces will be constantly appearing at the meetings. The Curator knows of many collectors and professional colleagues who could be of help to the Museum but whose interest in the problems of teaching modern language is slight. On the Department side, there are doubtless many Germanists who have but little interest in
