This image displays two aged, yellowed newspaper clipping pages, likely from an academic or local newspaper, bound together with three punched holes on the left edge. The pages appear to be from the Harvard Crimson, based on the style and content.
Main Headline:
“It’s a Real Dream Job: Starring In a ‘Show’ While Fast Asleep”
This article, which continues from a previous page, details an innovative and surreal exhibit called “Dreamstage,” created by Dr. Allan Hobson, a principal investigator at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center, and his colleagues at Harvard Medical School. The exhibit, which opened on April 22, involved visitors lying down in a “dream theater” where a single cell in their brain was “triggered” to enter a dream state—specifically REM sleep—while they watched a “show.”
The article explains that the “show” is a multi-media presentation (including film, slides, graphics, and sound) synchronized with the visitor’s brain wave patterns. Visitors, including composer Paul Earls and neuroscientist Betty S. Andersen, report experiencing vivid, surreal dream imagery while their eyes are closed, such as “a tap of the sound,” “a laser,” or “a polychrome synthesizer.” The article notes that participants are not actually asleep but are in a state of relaxed, dream-like visualization induced by the technology.
The piece ends with a quote from Dr. Hobson: “I’m not sure I was more of a wow someone shaking me up having the show had ended.” The section also notes “Continued on Page 49, Column 5,” suggesting the article continues on the next column, though the column numbering seems inconsistent.

Headline:
“Artists’ building remains unique”
This is a feature article by Robert Taylor about the Fenway Studios in Boston, a historic Artists’ Building on Westland Avenue across from the Fenway Park area, nestled among the “tawny Gothic arches of St. Clement’s Church.”
The article centers on a tour led by artist Robert Cormier and his wife Ives Gammell, who opened their studios to the public. The article emphasizes the building’s unique architectural character and cultural importance for Boston’s artist community.
The article includes a small, grainy black-and-white photograph of the two hosts: Robert Cormier (older man with glasses and a bow tie) and Ives Gammell (younger woman beside him). The building, designed by architect J. Harleston Parker, combines influences from Walter Gropius and Howard Pyle, featuring a heavy wooden front door flanked by carved cherubic figures, and a functional yet romantic interior with windows facing north for optimal natural light—a rarity in urban settings.
It notes that the building’s cultural value is at risk: “Should some adverse chain of circumstances ever deprive Boston’s painters of this invaluable workshop, the cultural loss to the community would be catastrophic,” Gammell notes. The article concludes by reminding readers that the Fenway Studios remains one of the few purpose-built artist studios in America still operating as originally intended.
