This image displays an open scrapbook or binder, revealing two pages filled with newspaper clippings related to Harvard University and the Fogg Art Museum, primarily dating to March and June 1982.
The left page features a prominent article titled “IN A FOGG”, dated March 10, 1982. The subtitle reads: “Fogg Museum’s expansion plan leads to political in-fighting.” Written by David Luberoft, the article details the controversy surrounding the museum’s ambitious $16.5 million expansion project, which faced opposition from university officials and financial difficulties. It includes a photograph of Suzannah Fabing, Deputy Director of the Fogg Art Museum, and quotes from various university figures like President Derek Bok and Director Seymour Slive.
Below this is a smaller clipping from Thursday, June 24, 1982, from The Belmont Citizen, page 13. It is labeled “HIGH SCHOOL PHOTO OF THE WEEK” and features a photograph of a ninth-grade student, Erik Griswold, taken outside the Fogg Museum. The caption notes it’s an example of how black and white photography can capture patterns.
The right page is dominated by another major headline: “Bok Gives Approval For Fogg Extension”, written by Sarah Paul. This article, dated June 1982 (continuing from page 1), reports that President Derek Bok reversed his earlier cancellation of the project after receiving a revised funding plan and overwhelming support from alumni and supporters. It notes that the $3 million goal set after the cancellation was met, and the university would now proceed with the expansion, including a new wing across Broadway.
Below the article is a photograph captioned: “Fogg Museum Director Seymour Slive (l) presents three framed posters to Cambridge Mayor Alfred Vellucci. The posters will join other furnishings from local schools, universities, and businesses in a new reception room the mayor is creating in City Hall.” The poster in the center clearly reads “RUISDAEL.” A handwritten note “31/6/82” is visible near the top of this clipping, and the newspaper’s name, “The Harvard Crimson,” appears above the “Fogg” headline.
The overall theme of this page spread is the tumultuous and ultimately successful effort to fund and approve a major expansion for the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard, highlighting both the internal university politics and external community support involved. The clippings offer a snapshot of institutional decision-making and cultural policy in early 1980s academia.
