The image shows a yellowed piece of paper with a printed article titled "Fine Arts Visiting Committees Hear Fogg Renovation Plans" by Susan J. Cook. The article discusses a meeting held on Sunday and Monday where members of the Fine Arts Department faculty and the Fogg Museum staff met with the Fine Arts Department Visiting Committees to discuss proposals for renovating the Fogg and creating new endowed positions for the Fogg Library and the Fine Arts faculty. The proposals were contained in a report drafted by Seymour Slive, director of the Fogg Museum; John M. Rosenfield, chairman of the Fine Arts Department; Oleg Garbar, senior tutor of the department; and Wolfgang M. Frietag, head librarian of the Fogg Library. The article mentions that the proposals included plans for 40,000 square feet of additional gallery and storage space for the Fogg, estimated to cost $3 million, the creation of new non-tenured positions similar to post-doctoral fellowships, an increase in the number of positions for women and junior faculty, the creation of endowed funds for additional curatorial and library staff, and the renovation of the Busch-Reisinger Museum. The article also notes that the increasing costs of graduate education will probably cause the number of graduate students to be decreased to 65-70, from an enrollment of 110 in 1973. The students endorsed most of the department’s plans and were pleased with the reception their comments received from the visiting committees. The two visiting committees will now revise the recommendations they received on the basis of comments they heard during the weekend and submit a joint report to the Board of Overseers on January 12. The article is continued on page 5. The paper appears to have been placed on top of a brown matte surface, possibly a folder or a piece of paper, with three holes at the top right corner, suggesting it is part of a set of documents.
