This image displays an open book or bound volume, showcasing a page from the Harvard University Gazette, dated February 26, 1982.
The main content on the right-hand page is a news article with the headline:
Committee Seeks Funds Needed for New Art Museum
The article details the Harvard Visiting Committee’s resolution to raise funds to build a new museum adjacent to the Fogg Art Museum. Specifically, it outlines a plan to raise $3 million by March 15, with an additional $3 million over the next three years, to cover construction and establish a $3 million Stabilization Fund for operating expenses. The article quotes President Derek Bok reaffirming his commitment to the project and acknowledges the committee’s plan as a viable way forward after earlier funding uncertainty.
The left-hand page features two newspaper clippings that have been pasted onto the page:
An article titled “The White Knight” by Michael W. Miller, dated FEB 23 1982, which discusses President Bok’s decision to cut off plans for a Fogg addition, citing lack of funding and outside support — a decision that surprised many.
A News Analysis piece, also dated FEB 23 1982, which reports on the committee’s sudden reversal and new funding proposal, highlighting internal disagreements and the “political” nature of the decision-making process.
The page is aged, with yellowed paper, indicating it was published over 40 years ago. The volume is bound with a black spine, suggesting it is an archival or bound collection of Gazette issues.
In essence, the page documents a dramatic and pivotal moment in Harvard’s art museum history — a public reversal of course regarding the construction of a new facility, driven by committee pressure and strategic fund-raising.
