The exhibition of the "Arts in America in the 18th Century"<br />
described in this catalogue has been made possible by the cooperation<br />
of the following museums and art dealers. I should<br />
like to extend to them my most sincere thanks on behalf of the<br />
college for the loans which they have so generously made:<br />
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts<br />
The Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati, Ohio<br />
The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio<br />
The New Haven Colony Historical Society<br />
The New-York Historical Society, New York, N. Y.<br />
The Philadelphia Historical Society, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania<br />
The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania<br />
Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut<br />
Kennedy & Company, New York, N. Y.<br />
M. Knoedler & Company, New York, N. Y.<br />
The Old Print Shop, Inc., New York, N. Y.<br />
I should like, as well, to thank the members of the staffs of<br />
each of these museums and dealers for the personal time and<br />
effort which they have given to our curator, Mrs. King, in the<br />
selection of material and the preparation of this catalogue.<br />
The college is also much indebted to the lecturers and musicians<br />
who have agreed to take part in the symposium accompanying<br />
this exhibition; to Professor McLaughlin and the members<br />
of the <strong>Oberlin</strong> Dramatic Association for their willingness<br />
to produce "The Contrast"; and to Mr. Julian Fowler, Librarian<br />
of the <strong>College</strong> who has placed on display a group of books illustrative<br />
of the period. Such a combination of lectures, drama,<br />
music and exhibition as this is a new step in an effort on the<br />
part of the Department of Fine Arts at <strong>Oberlin</strong> to give a comprehensive<br />
picture of the arts in a single period in history. It<br />
is necessarily modest in scope but it is to be hoped that it may<br />
be only a prelude to more comprehensive future symposia both<br />
here and elsewhere.<br />
