The image appears to be a document or a page from a document, with a headline and a brief article about security measures at the Fogg Art Museum. The document is affixed to a tan-colored background with a hole punch on the left side, suggesting it might be from a binder or a scrapbook. The headline reads, "Fogg Uses Closed-Circuit T.V. In New Trial Security Plan." The article discusses the installation of closed-circuit television cameras at the museum to monitor a pair of third-floor corridors, with the expressed intention of protecting the collections from theft, vandalism, and other security threats. The article mentions that the closed-circuit system will be on trial for at least a few months, and discusses the museum's security measures in relation to a previous theft of over $1 million worth of rare coins. Additionally, there is a smaller note in the upper left corner that appears to be a cut-out from another source, possibly a newspaper or a magazine, dated "10/13" and mentioning a Margaret Fisher exhibition at the Busch-Reisinger Museum. The bottom of the document is dated "Crimson Oct. 16 '74."
This image shows a yellowed page from a document or a scrapbook, with newspaper clippings attached to it. The clippings appear to be from different sources, with one being labeled "The Globe" and dated "10/13," and the other being from "Crimson Oct. 16 '74."
The clipping from "The Globe" discusses a situation involving Margaret Fisher, whose watercolors and drawings are being extended at the Busch-Reisinger Museum in Cambridge due to the popularity of her exhibition. Fisher has indicated a desire to have the pictures sold, and the proceeds donated to Harvard's Fogg Museum.
The clipping from "Crimson" discusses the Fogg Art Museum's use of closed-circuit television in a new trial security plan. The article mentions that the museum has installed two closed-circuit television cameras on a trial basis to strengthen the building's overall security. The system is designed to protect the museum's collections from fire and water damage as well as from theft and vandalism. The article also mentions the theft of over $1 million worth of rare coins from the Fogg last December 2 and the resignation of Daniel J. Robbins as director of the Fogg.
There is also a photograph of a barred window on the right side of the "Crimson" clipping, with a caption explaining that bars on the windows of the Fogg Art Museum are not sufficient to ensure the museum's collections against theft, hence the installation of closed-circuit television cameras.
The image is a photograph of a newspaper clipping with a brown border. The clipping contains a news article about the Fogg Art Museum's installation of closed-circuit television cameras as part of a new trial security plan. The article is from the Crimson, dated October 16, 1974.
The headline reads, "Fogg Uses Closed-Circuit T.V. In New Trial Security Plan." The article discusses the installation of two closed-circuit television cameras on a trial basis at the Fogg Art Museum to enhance security. The cameras are intended to protect the museum's collections from theft and vandalism.
The article quotes Seymour Slive, director of the Fogg, who states that the cameras will remain on trial "for at least a few months," and that the museum was not made to respond directly to the theft of over $1 million worth of rare prints from the Fogg last December 2.
The closed-circuit system monitors the first and third-floor corridors, relaying live images onto television screens watched by a single guard. Depending on the success of the trial, museum officials may consider installing a more extensive closed-circuit system.
Slive further comments on the nature of the museum's overall security system, stating that the closed-circuit system, if fully instituted, will serve only as part of a much more elaborate security system. He mentions that there is no indication that Fogg officials have increased security efforts.
Other aspects of the closed-circuit system under consideration include in-room and centralized sound systems, additional personnel, and security badges. Slive notes that these measures were still in the planning stages.
The article also mentions that the Fine Arts Department sources say that the Fogg administration was "disappointed" by the way the coin theft was handled, following a series of conflicts with the Fine Arts faculty and administration.
The clipping is pinned to a piece of paper with a hole punch at the top left corner. There is also a handwritten note on the left side of the clipping that reads, "The Globe Fisher to give 10/15 sale proceeds."

The first article is titled "Fogg Uses Closed-Circuit T.V. In New Trial Security Plan." It discusses the Fogg Art Museum's installation of a closed-circuit television system as part of their security measures. The system, designed to be waterproof and vandal-proof, will be on trial for at least a year. The article mentions that the cameras will relay images to television screens placed by the guards, allowing them to monitor the museum. The director of the Fogg, Seymour Slive, comments that this is part of a broader security system and is not a direct response to recent art thefts. The installation is also intended to protect the museum's collection against thefts and vandalism. The article notes that the security plan was prompted by the August theft of three paintings by Rembrandt and others.
The second article is from "The Globe" and is titled "Fisher to give sale proceeds to Boston Museum." It reports that Mrs. Max Fisher has decided to donate the proceeds from the sale of her exhibition, including drawings, watercolors, and paintings, to the Boston Museum. The sale is set to take place at the front desk of the Fogg Art Museum.
