To the Members and Friends of the Oriental Institute:I find i t a bit more difficult than usual to give you a comprehensive

report on the work of the Oriental Inst i tute for the year 1958-59. Thereasons are not hard to s tate . For one thing, much of what went on wasactually handled by an efficient administrative staff rather than bymyself, owing to my i l lness of the past summer and to the protractedperiod of recuperat ion that it required. For ano ther , the Iraq Re vo lution of Ju ly 14, 1958, and the landin g o f U ni ted States forces in Le ban onseriously restricted our work in the field, l imiting it to Egypt. Finally,the cont inuance of dis turbed condi t ions in the N ea r Eastern area du ringmost of the academic year left us marking time with respect to certainpolicy decisions that had been under careful consideration and that, ifthey had been ful ly clar i f ied and adopted, would have been worthy ofyour special attention because of their bearing upon objectives and procedures in our field work.

Of our several major projects , two were cont inued without interrupt ion. In Egypt the great undertaking of the Epigraphic Survey was cont inued, with Professor John A.Wilson taking charge so that ProfessorGeorge Hughes might enjoy a sabbat ical leave here at Chicago with us.At home the equally great enterprise of the Assyrian Dictionary proceeded on schedule, tw o further volum es of the projected twen ty-six c om ingfrom the presses to enhance the reputation of the Dictionary staff an d theInsti tute and to provide scholars everywhere with access to the vast resources which the cuneiform texts provide for our knowledge of millenniums of ancient his tory. In Egypt the work we have been doingjoint ly with the Egyptian Department of Antiqui t ies in the clearance ofthe To m b of K heru ef was cont inu ed to the comp let ion o f i ts f irst phase,bu t in Libya excavat ion was suspended as planned , to perm it wo rk on

the preparat ion of the f inal report . Inst ruct ion of a growing s tudentgroup went on in many fields at the Insti tute, and behind the doors ofm an y professional offices the pre par ation of vo lum es discharging obliga -t ions from earlier enterprises was in progress.Activity, thus, did not abate, and, if in this instance I do not go intoeach facet of our work in all the detail it deserves, this is because it hasseemed desirable at this t ime to focus your attention upon our Museumand to describe i ts work more fully than would otherwise be possible.

THE CHARACTER OF THE MUSEUMChicago has today a number of l a rge museums tha t qui te proper ly

enjoy a high reputat ion on the nat ional and internat ional scene. In i t sown l imited and chosen f ield the Museum of the Oriental Inst i tuteseeks to maintain the same high standards as they and to supplement themeaning which these inst i tut ions have both for the Greater Chicagoco m m un ity and for the Un iversi ty o f Ch icag o of wh ich i t is a par t .

The relat ion of the Oriental Inst i tute Museum to other s imilar inst i tut ions in the Ch icag o area is perhaps m ost closely analogo us to th at b etween the Freer Gal le ry at W ash ingto n , D .C . , and the remainde r ofthe Smithsonian, on the one hand, and the larger circle of the localmuseumsthe Corcoran, the Phi l ips , the Text i le Museum, etc .-on theother . B ut the Orie ntal Insti tute Mu seu m nei ther has been separately e ndowed or founded nor does i t receive civic or national support . A smallnucleus of the objects i t contains came to the University as a collectionthrough the beques t of Mrs. Caroline E. Haskell in 1894 and was original ly housed in Haskel l Ha l l . W h e n B reasted Hal l was erected in 1931,

the Haskell Collection was moved to the new building, to be the betterexhibited there, and a bronze tablet in the Museum 's lobby c om m em orates this fact and the gift of the collection. But what the Oriental Institute Museum has become since 1931, it owes to the University, to thosewho have guided its work, and to the circle of friends which it hasgained in the Chicago area over the years.

Today the Oriental Institute Museum houses the largest and mostrepresentative collection of objects of ancient Near Eastern culture andart west of the Alleghenies and in its spread rivals or excels many ofthe older collections of the eastern seaboard. Its five halls contain m ater ials exhibiting the cultural history and heritage of Egypt, of Anatolia,Syria, C yprus, and Assyria, o f Babylonia, of ancient Iran, and of Palestine, respectively (Fig. 1). In time these materials range from thepalaeolithic age of m an to late Byzantine and early Islamic times. M uchof what has been brought together here derives from the excavations ofthe Orienta l Institute and is thus o f particular value because the localand historical context of the m aterials is kn ow n and fully recorded.

deed, the intimate connection that thus exists between the archeologicalf ield work of the Oriental Inst i tute and i ts Museum has an importantbear ing upon the character of the Museum.

The Museum seeks to present examples of al l that is best in the cultural achievement of the ancient Near Eastern peoples , including thefinest products of their art ; but i t cannot be merely an art museum. Itsees art as one facet of a wide range of cultural achievement. Hence acoo king vessel and a com b, a foundat ion deposi t and a bronze pin , wi l lbe found exhibited with the same care as the best Amarna bas-relief orthe finest Hellenist ic jew elr y. F ur the rm or e, all the objects, w he the r ofbroadly cultural or of specifically artistic value, tend to be exhibited andseen in historical sequences, showing the cultural and intercultural development of the Near East by per iods and peoples over several thousand years . T he c om binat io n of these tw o factors gives ou r M useu m i tsspecial character and sets i t off from the other museums of the city.

A hypothetical analogy will perhaps i l lustrate the difference. Toachieve a similar result , the Art Insti tute, for example, would need toexhibi t i t s excel lent col lect ion of Peruvian pot tery in a context representing all the many more facets of the l ife of the South AmericanIndian, or i ts Renaissance painting in the context of the daily l ife of theFlorentine nobil ity , whi le the Museu m of N atura l His tory wou ld needto supply i ts aboriginal ethnological exhibits with the products of ahighly sophisticated culture level never developed by the peoples of theSouth Pacific. Even if this were possible, i t is clearly not the purposeof the insti tutions in question to proceed in this direction. But for theOriental Inst i tute Museum the procedure and the character descr ibedare basic, and this is what gives the Museum its part icular importancefor the educat ional and research work of the Oriental Inst i tute and theUn iversi ty and for the educat ional and cul tural life of Greater C hica go .

THE EDUCATIONAL WORK OF THE MUSEUMThe Oriental Ins t i tute Museum draws vis i tors f rom Greater Chicago,

from other ci t ies and al l states of the Union, and from many foreigncoun tries. I t is open daily from 10 :00 A.M. to 5 :oo P.M. (except Mondays, Chris tmas Day, and New Year ' s Day) and evenings before theregular Inst i tute lectures that are held once each month.

The thi rd group has been taken care ofdown through the years and wil l cont inue to be handled by the Oriental Insti tute 's professors of archeology. The other two groups we havebeen able to serve only during the last three years. This has been madepossible by the appointment of a Museum Docent , thanks to fundssuppl ied by contr ibut ions and dues of Inst i tute Members (Fig. 2) . Theresults have been gratifying, and their outward aspects can be set forthmost readily in tabular form.

Other interesting bits of stat ist ical information come to l ight in theDocent ' s report of the work for 1958-59. Of the school groups forwhose vis i ts arrangements were made through her , 90 represent publ icschools, 10 priv ate schoo ls, and 14 pa roc hia l schools. O f these, 46 camefrom the city of Chicago and 68 from outside the city l imits. An important feature of the Docent 's work was that of visi t ing schools thatplanned to send groups to the Museum or that could not t ransporttheir pupils to the Museum. Such visi ts were made to 22 schools, 16 ofthem lying outs ide the ci ty l imits . An aspect of the Museum's educat ional w or k that has been gro w ing in imp ortan ce is that of its appeal to

7

oi.uchicago.edu

10/28

adult and other informally organized study groups or clubs and that ofof i ts appeal to church groups. This accounts for the relatively largenumber of groups (83) and visi tors (1,808) l isted in the tables under thegenera l heading " O th er ."Certain deficiencies in the provisions we are currently in a posit ionto make for the educat ional work of the Museum under exis t ingbudgetary l imitat ions have come to l ight or have been re-emphasizedduring the current year . At the elementary- and high-school level , andparticularly for the visi ts of the Docent to the schools that are planningto send their classes to the Museum, the availability of a fi lm library ofcinem a "s ho rts" w ou ld be a great asset. W e h ave tr ied to collect anucleu s of such films as are co m m erc ially available, b ut this falls farshort of the actual needs. Ab ov e all , the films are co m m on ly som ew hatirrelevant to the specific needs of the school programs, lack the contactwith the "discovery" element in archeological explorat ion, and sometimes even offend ou r ow n scientific kn ow led ge of w ha t is or is no t so.W e ou gh t ourselves to be pro du cin g educ ational materials for use at theelem entary - and high-schoo l level, both in the textbo ok and in the f i lm-library fieldsa large and expensive undertaking that would need toto be separately staffed and financed.

In the field of education for professional purposes we have anotherdef iciency to cope with. Our Universi ty of Chicago graduate s tudentsstudying archeology have at their disposal the collections of al l kinds ofart ifacts housed in the rows and rows of storage cabinets that f i l l thevast caverns of our basement. These are the materials that the regularvisi tor to the Museum never sees-the submerged two-thirds of the"iceberg." In some categories the quanti ty of material available in thesecabinets is twe nty-fiv e to fif ty t imes wh at can possibly be exh ibited.At one occasion at the beginning of the "atomic scare," when we wereasked to put a dol lar value on our Museum's holdings, we est imatedthe objects in the Museum halls at between three and four mill iondollars and those in the basement at at least another mill ion. Much ofthis last has an additional value for study purposes, especially where itis f ragm entary and requires the deve lopm ent of a t rained imag inat ionto establish i ts complete form, significance, and attr ibution.

SPECIAL EXHIBITS ANDI M P O R T A N T R E C E N T A C C E S S I O N S

W h a t has been said above abo ut the nature o f the Orie ntal Inst ituteimplies as a natural corollary that many of i ts basic exhibits must bestanding exhibits, to give a fundamental picture of the nature and thedevelopment of different ancient cultures. But we are aware of thedan ger inhe rent in a ' ' frozen' ' display and realize that the w ors t co m m en t any on e can mak e abou t any m us eu m is the self-satisfied assertionthat he has seen it . To avoid giving the lethal "static" impression, ourparticular type of museum must seek to renew itself continuously,which can be done in a great many ways, given a heal thy imaginat ionon the part of the staff and an interested, helpful circle of friends.

It is surprising how much can be done in this connection with colorappl ied to the backg rou nd of the exhibi t ion cases and w ith changes andim pro vem ents in l ight ing. It is interest ing to observe ho w even thedeparture from a balanced, "at-rest" dis t r ibut ion in groups of smallobjects and their rearrangement along modern l ines can give new emphasis to their ind ividu al imp orta nc e (Fig. 3). W e are con tinually r earranging the elements of the ongoing part of our "show" by applyingwhat can be learned about modern museum techniques on this score,but much remains to be done and learned to achieve the full fruitage ofthe cur rent exper iments .

An important feature of any museum such as ours is that i t shall havespecial tem po rary ex hibi ts . W h e n b y goo d fortune the field expedi t ionsof the Inst i tute have both the permission of the local governments andthe opportuni ty to br ing home with them large col lect ions of importantrecent discoveries, these provide a natural occasion for special exhibit ions. The work in the f ield during 1957-58 did not produce this typeof resul t , but three separate "shows" were arranged nonetheless .

A second display, also in the Palestinian Hall , had a more practicalpurpose. Here, along the blank west wal l , we arranged long ser ies ofcolored pr in t s of Egypt ian tomb decora t ions . This was an "over- run"of individual plates from the famous Davies-Gardiner Ancient EgyptianPaintings that we discovered in England and that we have been offeringfor sale to visitors with astonishing success.

The most important display of the year was a loan exhibi t f romTurkey represent ing objects found at Gordion and in a royal tomb thereby the Universi ty Museum of Phi ladelphia (Fig. 6) . The exhibi t is onewe shared wi th the Univers i ty M useu m , the Nat ion al Gal lery a t W as hington, the Boston M useum of F ine Ar ts , and the M etropol i tan M useu min New York. I t remained for one month and at t racted no l i t t le at tent ion. Th e jo b of m ou nti ng such "s ho w s" falls upon the shoulders of theCurator and the preparators of the Museum. The cost of having theGo rdion " sh ow " and its Turkish a t tendant was borne by incom e f romMembers ' dues and gif ts .

More important for the cont inuing l i fe of the Museum than suchtem po rary and loan exhibi ts are ne w accessions to i ts per m ane nt ho ldings. Fro m the Libyan f ield exp edi t ion of 1957-58 we received only onesuch object, namely, a remarkable portrait head (Fig. 7). I t is that of anelderly lady, her face strong and deeply wrinkled, done in the severe"veris t ic" m ann er of Republican R om an ar t , and is a we lcom e addi t ionto the growing col lect ion of ant ique marbles from the Hel lenist ic andR o m a n O r i e n t .

Ou ts tanding am ong the gifts of M em bers and amo ng the purchasesmade possible by funds suppl ied by Members during 1958-59 are thefol lowing:

1. An Amarna-style Egyptian head in sunken relief (cover design). Deeply sensitive and exquisitely modeled, this is an extra-fine example of a type and stylerare and hard to come by. The head originally was part of some larger workfrom which it was long since broken off or cut out.Purchased with funds supplied anonymously by an Institute Member.

2-3 . Two bronze statuettes representing, respectively, a winged deity and a man witha dog, the former of the Isin-Larsa period (ca. 1900 B.C.), the latter of the AssyrianEm pire (Figs. 4 and 5). Th e deity has certain unusual features and w as the subjectof a long discussion at a meeting of the University's Near East Club of studentsand professors. The thesis advanced and debated was that the winged figure rep-

Purchased with funds supplied at Christmastime by Institute Members MissHarriet Borland, Mrs. George G. Cam eron, Mr. Edw ard J. Chalifoux, M r.Christian E. Jarchow, M r. Leon Pomerance, Mrs. Edwin A. Seipp, M rs .W .Byron Smith, Mrs. Gustavus F. Swift, and in memory of Mrs. Alvin E. Bastien.

4. Illuminated liturgical manuscript of the Four Gospels in Arabic with four full-page Evangelist portraits. Probably seventeenth century, this duodecimo manuscript is a unique example of the continuing importance of the Byzantine arttradition in the Islamic Orie nt. W hile the Arabic text is done in a beautifulKoranic hand, th e m iniatures, in the finest late B yzantine style, we re clearly d oneby Christian artists and therefore have the names of the Evangelists inscribed inGreek against their gold background.

Purchased with funds supplied by Mrs. Claire von der Marwitz.The first three objects mentioned are currently on exhibit in the halls

of the Museum, while the fourth is still kept in the Museum Vault.Also on exhibit in the Persian Hall, on loan from Mr. and Mrs. LeonPomerance of Long Island, is an excellent example of Iranian goldapplique from the famous Zawiyah Treasure (Fig. 8). Other smallerbronzes and seal cylinders, purchased with funds supplied by Members'dues and gifts, have been incorporated in the larger holdings of the

Museum, in which they filled minor gaps. Still other objects haveappeared for the first time on the Museum floor, having been put intoexhibitable form by the preparators and Member volunteers in ourlaboratories, after languishing for many years in the storage cabinets ofthe basement (Fig. 9).

While the Museum's exhibits continue to renew themselves in manydifferent ways and at many individual points, there is still much roomfor improvementboth in the exhibits themselves and in the facilitiesfor their presentation. Our ceiling lights are utterly antiquated by contemporary standards. We have far too much window light, which isreflected in the glass of the cases obscuring the exhibits. Drop ceilingswith indirect over-all lighting and apertures for "spots" would make abig difference. By carrying the walls of the building up into the w ind owspaces to one-third o f the height of the w indow s, we no t only could cutout the worst of the reflection but would gain wall space for greatlyenlarged pictures, "blow-ups" of the lands and sites from which ourexhibits come. At the suggestion of a member of the University'sBoard of Trustees, we have recently been considering installing the

Lectour system of microwave internal broadcasting, so that visitors byrenting a pocket receiver at small cost can hear prepared "gallery lectures" on the exhibits. On this point we are waiting to see how satisfactorily this equipment will work at the Art Institute, where it is currently being installed. But one thing we really should get at an earlydate, namely, a new Balopticon to provide continuous daylight projection of slides and films showing the archeological work of the Institute.Our present model is antediluvian, and the black-and-w hite slides whichit can handle are so antiquated that we are ashamed to turn it on. Butthis kind of free educational entertainment is always welcomed by thevery young and by those oldsters who enjoy sitting and resting then-legs for a change and is good propaganda.

Ai r condi t ioning, which is the na tura lsolution, is expensive.D ur ing the three days De cem ber 4- 7, 1958, the M useu m was thescene of an unusual event , a symposium at tended by seventy invi tedguests, half from, the various faculties and departments of the University of Chicago and half from other insti tutions of learning in thiscountry and from overseas. In the course of six regular sessions, eachlasting an entire morning or afternoon, specialists in many fields oflearning discussed to their hearts ' content and with much insightthe importance of the ci ty for the development of high civi l izat ionthroughout the various periods in the his tory of the ancient NearEas tern wor ld f rom Sumer ian through Greek and Roman t imes . Thediscussions were recorded on tape and are being prepared for publication. The occasion was notable and enhanced by the sett ing (Fig. 10).

B E H I N D T H E S C E N E SAs anyone who has ever had anything to do with i t knows, a great

deal has to go on behind the scenes in a museum to obtain on the floorthe results that look so simple and obvious to the casual visitor. Thework that has to go on behind the scenes in an archeological and historically orien ted m use um like that of the O rien tal Insti tute is even m o recomplicated than usual-owing to the origin and nature of i ts holdings,on the one hand, and to the inst i tut ional context to which i t belongs,on the other .

Both are understaffed,but both are working heroical ly to keep up with the pressure of immediate necessities.

In the laboratories and workshops the preparator and his assistant (weused to have three men here) prepare mater ials for exhibi t ion, makethe exhibitio n cases and install their l ighting , and m ou n t and dis m ou ntexhibits.

name fo r t hem i s "mummy-dus t e r s " ) who work wi th t hem one dayeach week. What makes the workload in the basement so very heavyin our case is that most of what we receive and process is measured notby its exh ibition va lue b ut by its po tentia l historical valu e. For o ur fieldarcheologists every old bronze disk, no matter how corroded, everyoddment of old pottery vessels, of clay tablets, or of modeled stoneobjects, is preciou s, and it is the function of the labo rato ry to clean,patch, assemble, and repair these pieces so that a maximum of historicalinformation may be obtained from them for our scholar ly work andpublicat ionirrespect ive of whether they could ever be exhibi ted. In50 per cent of the cases, what the laboratories accomplish does wondersfor our research and yields nothing to the actual repertoire of exhibit-able objects.

A posi t ion intermediate between the technical laborator ies and theM us eu m offices is occupied by the pho togra ph ic wo rks ho p. Here thedemands of our exhibi ts , of those who wish to reproduce our objectsfor educational purposesparticularly in textbooks-of our own fieldworkers as they prepare their reports upon our excavat ions, and of ourscholars as they write new interpretative and cri t ical publications andlectures run together in a never ending s t ream. The demands not onlyare extensive but are of the most varied types, and all require thehighest s tandards of wo rkm ans hip. W it h the help of M em bersh ip fundsw e have in past years pro vid ed at least a basic nucleus of high ly m od er nand efficient equipment for the conduct of this work.

The offices of the Museum would be happy indeed if they had onlyto determine and implement pol icy regarding the operat ion of theM u s e u m itself, i ts exhibits, i ts educational program, i ts loans to otherinsti tutions, and i ts technical and i ts photographic laboratories. Instead,l ike the laboratories, they find themselves deeply involved in our arche-ological f ield work and in our publication and our teaching enterprises.

I t is th ro ug h the adm inistrative offices that all of the thousa nds o f arc he -ological art ifacts brought in from field expedit ions get accessioned andnumbered and ult imately assigned to storage cases in the basement,where they can be located by a carefully organized system of registrat ion. I t is to the photo gra ph ic records sect ion of the Mu seu m 's ad m inistrative offices that al l the hundreds of invaluable field expedit ion negatives are turn ed over for accessioning, for rep rod uc tion , for stud ypurposes, and ult imately for the preparation of publishable prints . I t ishere, too, that are kept the rich print collections representing views ofplaces, si tes, objects, and diggings brought together from the undertakings and holdings of other inst i tut ions at home and abroad that arew or ki ng in the same field w ith us. I t is here, f inally, th at are held theslide collections we use in our classwork.

Currently, the Museum offices are involved also in a growing business enterprise wh ose in co m e is fed back into o ur scholarly w ork that of sell ing to a publ ic wi t h a grow ing appet i te for such things re pr oduct ions of ancient ar t objects and of colored pr ints , of "paperbacks,"of postcards, and of booklets describing certain of our exhibits .

winter , the Museum off ices have even been concerned lately withrequests f rom other museums to supply them with some of our un-exhibi ted mummies, s ince these are now hard to come by. More importantly, the Museum offices have during the past year gone over ourextensive holdings in small precious and semiprecious objects, in manuscr ipts on parchment and on papyrus, and have organized them foraccessibili ty and exh ibit ion in our steel and con crete vau lt on th e secondfloor of the Insti tute building. Currently, they are at work creating inanother room a system of archives-where the or iginal drawings, survey records, object registers, and "journals" of past expedit ions are tobe housed for future reference as needed. For this installation we shallneed ne w ligh ting and fil ing eq uip m en t, as w e need i t also in the "sl id e"r o o m .

So the work of the Oriental Inst i tute Museum is indeed many-sided,w ith ramifications in all directions. W e m ay b e dealing wi th th e oldestand most remote types of museum mater ials more consis tent ly andmore comprehens ive ly than any o ther museum in the ent i re count ry .But we are anything but "dead" and "s tat ic ." The gr imy dir t f rom theChicago smog we find difficult to keep from sett l ing on our windows,our desks, our laboratory equipment , our exhibi ts , and our s toragebins. But the dust of the ages does not get a chance to settle-it is continually being st irred up by our efforts to perform our manifold duties.

In i t s work the Oriental Inst i tute Museum has been great ly helpedand encouraged by the interest , the gifts, and the contributions of theM em bers and Fr iends of the Ins ti tu te . W e h ope w e ma y con t inue todeserve that interest in the future. Museums must cont inue to grow andchange i f they are to serve the contemporary world and are to exhibi tto the future the meaning and character of the past . This is true both inan intellectual and in a physical sense, and if tomorrow we could add anew wing t o our bu i l d ing , r unn ing back t o Woodlawn Avenue , complete wi th more exhibi t ion space, wi th a laboratory for the newesttechnological equipment, with a better lecture hall , and with specialfacil i t ies for handling groups of school children, we not only would beable to put i ts facil i t ies to immediate use but would have the init iat iveand the imagination to make them count effectively in the sum total ofour efforts for science, for the University, and for the community.
