Below the photo is an article with the headline and the following text:
BACK from shepherding an exhibition of French drawings borrowed from American private and public collections to Rotterdam and Paris, Agnes Mongan, Curator of Drawings in the Fogg Museum, has assumed the post (for John Coolidge’s sabbatical) of Acting Director. By no means fazed by the responsibility, she regrets that this term she will have no time to conduct a seminar, participate in the course on Museum Management, or work with individual students in their research. She will particularly miss the excitement of discussing with a student original drawings from the Museum’s rich collection—a teaching device peculiar to the Fogg. She will still be responsible for the attribution of the hundreds or more drawings and paintings submitted by Friends and future Friends of the Fogg—a function that has recently grown in volume because of the increased interest in collecting. She will still find the time to sally about the Museum and wither at a glance any member of the Faculty (no undergraduate would so far presume) who thoughtlessly burns tobacco where he shouldn’t. To her acknowledged skill as curator and lecturer another quality has been added, the rare facility of attracting improbable treasures. As the acquisition funds of the Fogg are almost non-existent, this remains an area for imagination and daring. The Finds which she has brought from her recent journey to France and Italy, some of which are already on exhibition at the Fogg, indicate a certain measure of success in fields both old and modern.
The overall presentation suggests this is a preserved historical document celebrating or noting the professional accomplishments of Agnes Mongan, who served as a curator at the Fogg Museum (now part of the Harvard Art Museums). The tone of the article is admiring and slightly humorous, highlighting her expertise, dedication, and unique ability to acquire artworks despite limited funds.
The aged paper and the careful mounting indicate this was saved as a keepsake or archival record.
