The primary document, titled “FOGG LAUNCHES A MASTERPIECE OF A TRAVEL PROGRAM”, announces an ambitious new travel program offered by the museum’s “Friends of the Fogg.” The program is pitched as an alternative to conventional museum tours, offering trips led by Harvard’s distinguished professors and curators for deep, scholarly engagement with art and history.
The Program’s Philosophy:
Upcoming Trips (1982-1983):
The Crusader Cruise (October 19 – November 8, 1982):
Trip to Morocco (January 13 – January 24, 1983):
A third trip, partially mentioned, will be led by Sydney Freedberg, Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Fine Arts and an authority on the Italian Renaissance.

“Two Fogg Rembrandts may not be by Rembrandt”.
The clipping features a black-and-white reproduction of a self-portrait, captioned “Self-portrait from the Fogg Museum may...” — suggesting a contemporary news story about authenticating or re-attributing works in the museum’s collection, possibly tied to the travel program’s scholarly themes.

"FOGG LAUNCHES A MASTERPIECE OF A TRAVEL PROGRAM
For those who have returned from a trip abroad with vivid memories of trying to read the fine print in guide books, or of attempting to winnow fact from fiction in a tour spiel, the Fogg Art Museum offers a welcome alternative this year in its new travel program.
"We plan to offer something quite unusual in our trips," explained Mary Rose Maybank, head of the Friends of the Fogg. "Dozens of museums organize tours for their members, but few can offer the privilege of traveling with world-renowned art historians. The Fogg, as one of the world's leading teaching museums, can provide a unique opportunity to travel with some of Harvard's most distinguished professors and curators. For those who truly want to understand the great treasures and monuments they visit, we think it would be hard to find a better means short of a full graduate program."
This year the Friends of the Fogg offer five trips, which will cover, in all, parts of three continents. The Crusader Cruise, traveling October 19 - November 8, will visit Venice, Split, Rhodes, Jerusalem, Antioch, Crete, Malta, and other sites important to the age of the crusades. Guiding the group will be David Gordon Mitten, James Loeb Professor of Classical Art and Archaeology at Harvard, curator of ancient art at the Fogg, and associate director of the Harvard-Cornell Archaeological Exploration of Sardis. Other lecturers aboard the cruise ship, the Stella Maris II, will be Viscount Norwich, Alan Borg, Count de Cruenne, and Peter Lathrop Lauritzen.
On January 13 a second trip will embark for Morocco under the tutelage of Walter Denny, the Fogg's honorary curator of rugs and professor of art history at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. This group will visit the exotic cities of Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes, Fez, and Marrakesh, returning to this country on January 24.
Sydney Freedberg, Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Fine Arts and author of numerous books on the art of the Italian Renaissance will..."
