LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR CHARLES W. (MARK) HAx'rHAUSEN Faison-Pierson-Stoddard Professor of Art History, Director of the Graduate Program

With this issue we are extremely pleased to revive the Graduate Program's ANNuAL NEWSLETTER, in a format that is greatly expanded from its former incarnation. This publication will appear once a year, toward the end of the summer, bringing you news about the program, Williams, the Clark, our faculty, students, and graduates. The return of the newsletter is a fruit of one of the happy developments of a remarkably successful year-the creation of the position ofAsSOCIATE DIRECTOR of the Graduate Program. In recent years, with the introduction of the QualifYing Paper and Annual Symposium, the workload in the Graduate Program had seriously outgrown the capacities of its small staff. With the naming ofMARc SIMPSON to the new post, we have the resources not only to handle existing administrative demands but to expand our activities into neglected areas, one ofwhich is the publication of this newsletter, for which Marc serves as editor. We feel especially fortunate to have added Marc to the Program. A leading scholar of American art, he received his Ph.D. from Yale and served from 1985 to 1994 as Ednah Root Curator ofAmerican Paintings at the Fine Arts of San Francisco. After moving back to New England in 1994, he joined the staff of the Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA) , a project of the Getty Trust housed at the Clark. He has also had visiting faculty appointments at Berkeley, Stanford, and in the Graduate

He has organized or co-organized its first endowed fellowships. Bob Geniesse has served since 1974 on the Clark's Board of Trustees, from exhibitions on William Michael Harnett, EastmanJohnson, and Winslow Homer, to name but a few; and 1987 to 1998 as its President. He was thus as well informed about the Graduate Program's needs as he while working at BHA he curated Uncanny Spectacle: The Public Career ofthe YoungJohn Singer Sargent (1997) was about its reputation for excellence, and it was on his initiative that the Class of 1951 designated us as for the Clark, which was a tremendous success with both the public and the critics. He has just finished one of its gift targets.

Marc's appointment was but one of several salutary events in the Graduate Program during the Under the auspices of the division of Research and Academic Programs, headed by MICHAEL ANN HOLLY, 2000-2001 academic year.

Some of the funding, which came entirely from tuition. Consequently, deficits were a way of life, the shortfalls fellows generously conferred with graduate students on their research, and Michael Leja, a distinguished covered by an ever-shrinking reserve fund.

Michael Holly'S article later in this newsletter. In the fall we launched an ANNUAL GIVING PROGRAM. In its first year this campaign netted $6,995 In an effort to get out the word about the Graduate Program and to keep the information current, from donations by forty-one alumni and alumnae-for a first effort a generous and gratifying result in October the Graduate Program launched its all-new WEBSITE, designed by PENNY RICHARDSON, our indeed!

Although the link is not the particular advantage of the rapidly proliferating number of graduate student symposia.
