...current restructuring of the Semitic Museum has come about following an official report by an Advisory Committee, headed by Dorot Professor of Archaeology Lawrence E. Stager, director of the Museum, to the Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles concerning the position of the Semitic Museum within Harvard University.
