The paper is yellowed with age, suggesting it is a historical document, and appears to be bound or mounted inside a protective cover or scrapbook, visible along the left and bottom edges.
The main headline reads:
“Group May Coordinate Art, Design Instruction”
with a sub-headline:
“Faculty Committee Will Constitute Liaison Between G.S.D., Fine Arts Department”
The article discusses the formation of a six-member faculty committee intended to establish a liaison between the Graduate School of Design (G.S.D.) and the Department of Fine Arts at Harvard University. The committee is led by John P. Coolidge ’38, associate professor of Fine Arts, and includes representatives from both schools, such as Leonard Optyke ’17, Theodore L. Fahlmer, Jean F. Carlin, Constantino Nivola, and Joseph Zalewsky.
Accompanying the article is a small, black-and-white portrait labeled “JOHN P. COOLIDGE,” showing a man in a suit and tie, looking directly ahead.
The article further explains that although the group has not yet met, it will consider coordinating courses and exhibitions between the schools and may recommend joint instruction if the curricula align. It notes that while joint appointments have been unstable, joint exhibitions may be considered, especially those held in the Fogg Museum and Robinson Hall.
A second parallel committee, headed by John Nicholas Brown ’22, is mentioned as investigating facilities for visual arts in the University. Members listed include Lane Faison Jr., Dean Francis Keppele, Donald Oenslager, Charles Sawyer, Wolfgang Stechow, George Waad, and John Walker ’28.
The overall tone of the page is academic and institutional, reporting on administrative efforts to foster collaboration between different art and design disciplines at the university level.
