OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR May 12, 1995 KEY ACADEMIC/STAFF ADMINISTRATORS SUBJECT: The Stuart Collection Since its inception in 1982, the Stuart Collection has become one of the most highly regarded collections of contemporary sculpture in the world. The campus owes a debt of gratitude to James S. DeSilva of the Stuart Foundation for his vision in the development of the Collection and his generous support. I am pleased to announce the renewal of the formal agreement between the Stuart Foundation and the University, and I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to working with the Foundation's Advisory Committee. Our mutual goals are to maintain the integrity of this art Collection and to apply the highest standards in evaluating potential acquisitions of any outdoor sculpture for the UC San Diego campus. A recently issued PPM (510-3) requires University staff and faculty to consult as early as possible with the Director of the Stuart Collection regarding any plans or opportunities for the acquisition, commissioning, or placement of works of art on the campus. Temporary works designed by students that do not directly affect the Collection are excluded. I am confident that this policy will sustain the quality of outdoor sculptures at UCSD. If you should have any questions, please contact the Stuart Collection Director Mary Beebe at extension 42117. Richard C. Atkinson Chancellor |
