The lecture is sponsored by the art department. Mellquist is described as a “Metropolitan art critic, writer, and lecturer on the staff of the American School of Art.” He has been a resident of Paris for the past five years and is returning to the U.S. for a lecture series at Dartmouth, the Metropolitan Museum of New York, and the Hartford Athenaeum. The article also notes he was appointed Commissioner of the Venice Biennial International Art Exhibition.

Bottom Clipping:

Wadsworth, a senior at Bradford Junior College, Bradford, Mass., was among a group of students who visited art museums in Boston and Cambridge to study art work previously discussed in class.” The museums listed are the “Fogg Museum and Busch-Reisinger Museum at Harvard University, Cambridge, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.” The article also notes that Miss Wadsworth is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Wadsworth and that the group also visited the State Hospital at Danvers, Mass., as part of a field trip connected to her psychology course.

Overall Context:
The clippings are historical artifacts from 1958, documenting academic art lectures and student field trips to prominent museums like the Fogg Museum at Harvard and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The scrapbook page suggests these events were significant to the collector. The handwritten note “Fogg Museum” further emphasizes the importance of that institution to the person who compiled this collection. The aging paper and the careful preservation indicate its value as a historical record.

The image appears to be a scanned page from a book or document. The page is yellowed, indicating it is quite old, and the text on the page seems to be a collection of clippings or notes regarding events, possibly related to art and lectures at Dartmouth College, as well as a student's visit to art museums in Boston and Cambridge.

The top clipping is from the "Valley News" in Lebanon, N.H., and it mentions a lecture by Jerome Mellquist on "Impressionism" at Dartmouth College. The bottom clipping is from the "Livingston Co. Leader" in Geneseo, N.Y., and it describes a student named Sara E. Wadsworth from Bradford Junior College, who visited art museums in Boston and Cambridge. There is a timestamp on both clippings, "FEB 17 1958" and "FEB 20 1958," respectively.
