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 />
