1. The first clipping is from Harvard Crimson, dated November 8, 1971, titled "Busch-Reisinger Gears Up For Capital Fund Drive." The article, written by Wendy L. Wall, discusses the museum's plans to launch a capital fund drive to raise $7 million. The drive aims to support the museum's educational and cultural programs, which have been affected by inflation.

The museum has delayed its drive until the Fogg Museum completes its own campaign.

2. The second clipping is from The Sunday Telegraph, dated August 23, 1981, titled "Museum." This article mentions that the Busch-Reisinger Museum in New York is reviving a series of recitals featuring New English musicians, broadcast nationally by the Public Broadcasting System. The museum also has an exhibition of twentieth-century art, including works by German-American artists. The article notes that the museum has seen a 30 percent increase in visitors compared to the previous year.

Additionally, there is a smaller inset photo in the second clipping, showing a detail of Max Beckmann's "Self-Portrait in Tuxedo," which was purchased by the Busch-Reisinger Museum in 1928. The photo is described as having been purged from the German National Gallery in 1937. The clipping is from a book titled "The Busch-Reisinger Museum," published by Harvard University Press.

The clippings together provide a historical overview of the Busch-Reisinger Museum's fundraising efforts and exhibitions over the years.
