The text on the page discusses the directorship and curatorial roles within the museum, noting that the current curator is a professor from the Department of Fine Arts and that future curators are likely to be art historians rather than literary historians.

The document then proposes a merger that would not alter the museum's general policy or its duties to the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures.
