The clippings, all dated October 1930, cover events related to the Fogg Art Museum (now part of the Harvard Art Museums) and its connection to Harvard University. Most of the clippings are from the Harvard Crimson or similar campus publications, with one from Parnassus.
Here’s a breakdown of the clippings from top to bottom, left to right:
Top Row:
“Gazette Oct. 11, 1930”: This article announces the inaugural Charles Eliot Norton Lectures series to be delivered by Professor Arthur Mayger Hind, Slade Professor at Oxford and Assistant Keeper at the British Museum. Hind is lecturing on Rembrandt in the Fogg Art Museum’s large lecture room, with the first lecture on November 12 on “Rembrandt’s School.” A schedule of eight lectures is provided.
“Transcript Oct. 11”: A similar article from the Harvard Crimson Transcript details the exhibition of Rembrandt’s etchings at the Fogg Art Museum, noting that the prints are primarily from the rich Fogg Museum print collection, with some loaned from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It highlights Rembrandt’s versatility across subjects and mentions specific works like “Raising of Lazarus” and “Christ Presented to the People.”
“Transcript Oct. 22”: This article reiterates information about Professor Hind’s lectures and the Rembrandt exhibition. It emphasizes that the public is admitted free to both events and lists the full lecture schedule by date and topic: Introductory, Rembrandt’s School, Histories, Portraits, Landscapes, and Conclusion.
Middle Row:
“FOGG ART MUSEUM” (Unlabeled, likely from Transcript Oct. 22): This article, similar in content to those above, again focuses on the Rembrandt etchings exhibition and Professor Hind’s lectures. It reiterates the breadth of Rembrandt’s work on display and the significance of the subject matter.
“Trans. Oct. 22”: A small, partially visible clipping gives practical information about the Fogg Art Museum’s location (corner Quincy Street and Broadway, Cambridge), its hours (1 to 5 pm, weekdays, 2 to 5 pm, Sundays), admission fee ($3.00 for students), and mentions special exhibitions and an upcoming sale of 100 volumes of books donated by Rembrandt, concluding with “Through Oct. 23.”
Bottom Row:
“Daily Record Oct. 22”: This clip from the Daily Record reports the humorous and dramatic story of “FOGG’S BUST RESCUED, NOW IN NICHE OF HONOR.” It describes how a marble bust of William Hayes Fogg, the museum’s founder, was temporarily removed from the entrance hall due to protests from Lyman E. Shorey, founder of the Fogg Museum in memory of her husband. The bust had been hidden away in the store room. After protest and debate about its artistic merit, it was rescued and placed on a niche above the entrance to the great hall, satisfying all parties.
“Transcript Oct. 22”: A brief announcement stating that C. A. Brodeur has been appointed to the faculty of the School of Fine Arts as business manager and instructor. He offers courses in Ancient Techniques, History of Ornament, and Mural Composition and has spent two years in Europe as an R. Bacon Art Scholar.
“PARNASSUS, October 1930 / V.II, NO.VI page 46”: This clipping from the art magazine Parnassus is a header indicating the source of the article, likely corresponding to one of the articles below it (perhaps the “Kirkuk Expedition” or “Changes in Museum Personnel”), though those specific articles are not fully visible or legible.
In summary, this page documents a significant cultural moment at the Fogg Art Museum in October 1930 — the opening of a major Rembrandt etchings exhibition and a prestigious lecture series by a renowned British art historian, Professor Arthur Mayger Hind. Alongside this scholarly activity, the page also captures a lighthearted campus drama over the placement of the museum’s founder’s bust. The page provides a snapshot of art history in progress, blending academic programming with institutional gossip.
