There is a copy of the Report on the Committee on the Visual Arts at Harvard University which examined the role of the arts in the curriculum.  The report was by the Harvard Committee, whose chair was philanthropist and later Smithsonian regent John Nicholas Brown and the executive secretary was Faison.  During World War II, President Roosevelt appointed Brown to General Eisenhower's staff as Special Cultural Advisor and the civilian head of the Monuments, Fine Arts & Archives Section.  Brown also argued against the removal of German-owned artworks to the United States in 1945.
