...recent establishment of a fellowship for the study of modern art is a hollow mockery, when the one man (Feild) that can save the department from its past must go." However stimulating a teacher he may be, Professor Feild is obviously not the only man that can improve the department. The fellowship for the study of modern art is not a "hollow mockery" but will certainly help in the consideration of art in relation to the present...
...recommending that assistant professor Feild be reappointed, the Council said that his loss was "depriving the students at Harvard of a more complete understanding of the Fine Arts," and that he filled a definite need for "excellent teaching in the theory of visual arts." Moreover, a petition signed by 80 per cent of the Fine Arts concentrators called Feild's non-reappointment "a serious blow to the teaching of Fine Arts," and warned that "with the loss of Mr. Feild the Department (Fine Arts) is in danger of becoming one-sided...

The recent establishment of a fellowship for the study of modern art is a hollow mockery when the one man that can save the department from its past must leave...
...Feild must go, the Fogg will stay though condemned by its students. Despite its brilliant exterior, it is a rotting hulk aimlessly floating on a sea of meaningless and unrelated detail. The study of fine arts has become largely a matter of identifying pictures. This is fine for embryo museum experts. But when it comes to aiding undergraduates to relate fine arts to the life and thought of an epoch, particularly the epoch we are living in, the department is inadequate, barren, and moribund...
