From Wikipedia: "Perry T. Rathbone (July 3, 1911-Jan. 15th, 2000) was one of the leading American art museum directors of the 20th century. As director of the St. Louis Art Museum from 1940 1955, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston from 1955 1972, he transformed these institutions...to vibrant cultural centers. Known for his sensitive installations...he increased the membership and attendance figures of both institutions exponentially, and also added significant works to their permanent collections across the board. Rathbone was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on July 3, 1911...Perry entered Harvard College as a freshman in the fall of 1929 with the class of 1933. At Harvard he majored in art history and went on to take the graduate course with Professor Paul Sachs called "Museum Work and Museum Problems, " which was responsible for training the first generation of museum professionals in America. In 1940 Rathbone was appointed director of the St. Louis Art Museum (then the City Art Museum). At age 29, he was the youngest museum director in America. From 1943-45 he served in the U.S. Navy in Washington D.C. as head of combat artists, and in New Caledonia as an officer. Upon returning from New Caledonia he married Euretta de Cosson, a British Ski champion, on Feb. 10, 1945....He was also responsible for many popular exhibitions, some of regional interest, such as "Mississippi Panorama, " and "Westward the Way, " Wikipedia: "Claiborne de Borda Pell (November 22, 1918 January 1, 2009) was a U.S. Senator from Rhode Island, serving six terms from 1961 to 1997, and was best known as the sponsor of the Pell Grant, which provides financial aid funding to American college students. A member of the Democratic Party, he was Rhode Island's longest serving senator."
