Title and Conclusion:
The section is titled "CONCLUSION."
Text:
The conclusion discusses the collection of original objects at the museum, noting that the collection is nearly adequate for all periods except the Middle and High Middle Ages. During the medium periods of painting and sculpture, the museum has a satisfactory representation, though there are some gaps in decorative arts.
The text highlights a particular need for substantial numerical increase in sculpture and decorative arts to fully represent these periods. It also mentions the Scandinavian collection, which needs improvement.
Additional exhibition space is required to display the collections properly. The document stresses the need for converting this space into appropriate galleries.
There is a mention of the necessity for an endowment for the museum's operating needs, including personnel and building staff. Currently, the administrative responsibilities are handled by a few people, and the financial support mainly comes from current gifts and the Museum Association members. A significant endowment is suggested to ensure the institution's stability and growth.

On the left page, under the heading "Conclusion," the text discusses the expansion of the museum's collection of original objects in sculpture and decorative arts, mentioning that the collection is nearly adequate for all periods except the early and high Middle Ages. It notes that while there is no substantial numerical increase sought, quality and variety should be improved. Additional exhibition space is required for the Scandinavian collection, and funds are needed to convert this space into proper galleries. The text also emphasizes the necessity of additional endowment for the administration of the museum and for the building staff, which is currently financed through the generosity of the institution's founders and the Museum Association members.
On the right page, titled "Appendix: Accessions of Works of Art," there is a detailed list of decorative art pieces, specifically ceramics, that have been acquired. Each entry includes the name of the piece, its origin, date, and the donor's name. The list includes items such as plates, porcelain pieces, teapots, coffee services, and figures, all from the 18th century, primarily from the Meissen and Hochst factories, gifted by Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. Pfeuger and others. The entries are meticulously documented with details like the type of ceramic, maker, and specific dates.

The right page (page 7) lists various ceramic works of art from the 18th century, including items such as plates, teapots, coffee services, and sugar bowls. Each item is accompanied by details such as the artist (Dr. Hans Syz), the century, and the donors (Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. Pflueger). The items listed are dated between the mid-1700s to the early 1770s and are noted as gifts from the Pflueger couple and other donors.

The entries in the appendix include descriptions of items like a "Campus XVIII Century Plate, porcelain," "Fitzhugh, XVIII Century. Ewer," and "Historic Spode, c. 1755. Sugar bowl," along with the names of the individuals or entities that donated these items.
