   • Expeditions to China under Mr. Langdon Warner, which yielded important artifacts like a polychrome clay statue and paintings from Tun Huang.
   • An expedition to Eutresis (Greece) led by Dr. Hetty Goldman.
   • The establishment of the magazine Art Studies, five years prior (i.e., 1922), conducted in cooperation with Princeton University.
   • Endowment by Mr. Arthur Sachs and the appointment of an international advisory board.
   • The museum’s growing responsibility and dignity in the field of Art, supported by new equipment.

2. Bottom Section (Poetry):
   Below the prose, a poetic piece titled “A DREAM” by Charles Hall Grandgent, ’83 begins. The poem’s opening lines are:

   THE story of a dream, a real dream
   Dreamt by a little lad of twelve or so
   Full half a century and more ago;
   A fantasy, but one of those which seem,
   Not only at the time, but afterward always,
   As truly lived as aught we live by day.

   Late had he sat, this lad of twelve or so,
   Devouring, by the lamp’s declining gleam,
   The haunting lines of Edgar Allan Poe:

   “Oh! nothing earthly save the ray
   (Thrown back from flowers) of Beauty’s eye,
   As in those gardens where the day
   Springs from the gems of Circassy:
   Oh! nothing earthly save the thrill
   Of melody in woodland rill...
   Oh! nothing of this dross of ours,”

   At the bottom of the poem, a footnote (¹) reads:

   Read at the dedication of the new Fogg Art Museum at Harvard, June 20, 1927.
