The article discusses the involvement of the Fine Arts Visiting Committees with the Harvard Art Museums, particularly focusing on the Fogg Museum's renovation plans. There are two main columns of text with a section in the right column that says "Fine Arts" (continued from page 1) indicating the article continues from an earlier part.

The layout of the article suggests it is from a student newspaper, typically a format found in university or college publications. There is a handwritten date at the bottom left corner, "Crimson 11/20/74," which likely denotes the publication name and the date of the issue.

The article has been carefully pinned onto the paper with four pushpins at the corners, one of which is missing in the top right corner, and another pushpin which is placed directly through the paper near the bottom right corner. The image captures the entire setup, providing a clear view of the paper's preservation and display method.

The title of the article is "Fine Arts Visiting Committees Hear Fogg Renovation Plans." The text is written in black font and is organized into paragraphs. The article discusses the Fine Arts Visiting Committees' meeting to discuss proposals to renovate the Fogg Art Museum and create new endowed positions for the Fogg Library Jr. The proposal was contained in a report drafted by Seymour Slive, director of the Fogg Museum; John M. Rosenfeld, chairman of the Fine Arts Department; Oleg Grabar, senior curator of the department; and Wolfgang M. Freitag, head librarian of the Fogg Library. The proposals listed in the report included the creation of a new non-tenured position to post-doctoral fellowships along with an increase in the number of positions and junior faculty, a creation of endowed funds for additional curatorial and library staff, and a renovation of the Busch-Reisinger Museum. The request also said 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, and shorten the amount of time students can spend earning degrees. The response of the members of the Fine Arts Visiting Committee was very favorable. Two undergraduates and three graduate students attended meetings with the visiting committee and gave brief formal presentations of their reactions to the suggested changes in undergraduate and graduate education. The students endorsed most of the department's plans and were said they were pleased with the reception their comments received from the visiting committee. "They considered it a very natural for us to be there," said M. Sheve Simon, a third-year student in the natural sciences department. "They considered it a very natural for us to be there," said M.
