(draft of tue, 19 jul 94)

Welcome to a new collection of directories and files which
will appear during the summer of '94 which will represent
the history of and course offerings at The School of the Museum
of Fine Arts (Boston), also known as The Museum School and
officially abbreviated, The SMFA.

Over the years numerous Museum School faculty and students have 
come to MIT for help with a wide variety of projects, and MIT
students, faculty, staff and alum have in turn visited the The
Museum School, taken courses there or received the School's diploma.

(The Museum School also awards an MFA and the Master of Arts in
conjunction with Tufts University, where Museum students take
undergraduate and graduate courses in humanities and social
sciences, and often more).

The Museum School is now also a non-profit client of The MIT
Entrepreneurs Club, which is helping The School develop an
on-line presence on The Internet and The World Wide Web, in
an effort to make The School's history, course catalog, gallery
news and examples of student, faculty and alum art work viewable
to other schools, colleges and universities and a growing 
number of municiple, corporate and private libraries, as well
as to individuals.

The next step is to create the appropriate directories and files
at The E-Club's ftp site (mintaka.lcs.mit.edu) and gopher client
pointers ... and to follow this with the creation of a pilot
Mosaic home page for The Museum School. 

By the way, if this pilot proves to be useful as a marketing
tool for The School, in the opinion of the Board of Directors,
the next step shall be to create a budget for, and raise the
funds required for, the creation of a computer server site
at The School of its own, and of course to get The School on
to The Internet, formally.

For immediate further information about The Museum School, and
if you happen to be an alum or otherwise interested in assisting,
and wish to help with a donation of funds to help make all
this happen by fall term '94, please contact The Dean of The
Museum School, Debby Dluhy, at 617-267-6100, extension 618, or
send e-mail to Professor Larry Johnson at <lsj@world.std.com>
or to Professor Tom Norton at <Tom_Norton@bcsmac.bcs.org> or to
Board Member Lewis Clapp (MIT'58) at <clapp@husc.harvard.edu>.
