The art museum as we know it today has diverse origins some going back centuries, but the object-centered Museum Course taught by Paul Sachs and others in close affiliation with Harvard’s laboratory-oriented Fogg Art Museum deserves a special place, both for its radical impact and ongoing relevance. As Harvard celebrates 150 years of fine arts education, Paul Sachs’s engaging memoir Tales of an Epoch is being published for the first time, thoughtfully introduced, edited and contextualized by Felipe Pereda, Fernando Zóbel de Ayala Professor of Spanish Art and head of Graduate Studies in Harvard’s Department of History of Art & Architecture.


Recognition of Paul Sachs has faded with time, but his legacy lives. A telling measure of his influence is the cast of students, colleagues and friends populating Tales of an Epoch. Future museum directors and curators enrolled in the course include Chick Austin (Wadsworth Atheneum), Alfred Barr (Museum of Modern Art), Sherman Lee (Cleveland Art Museum), James Rorimer (Metropolitan Museum of Art), Perry Rathbone (Boston Museum of Fine Arts) and John Walker (National Gallery of Art). The future director of the Fogg and a research assistant for Sachs, Agnes Mongan was named Keeper of Drawings at the Fogg in 1937, a title only elevated to Curator in 1947 after the war. Future collectors include Lincoln Kirstein, Henry McIlhenny, Joseph Pulitzer and E.M.M. Warburg. Illustrious colleagues, mentors and protégés include Aby Warburg, Bernard Berenson, John Coolidge, Edward Waldo Forbes, Maurice Wertheim, and Grenville Winthrop.


Tales of an Epoch and a “where did they go” list tracking the careers of Museum Course alumni in the Appendix amplifies the depth and range of Sachs’s influence on museums as we experience them today. 
Both scholars and general readers with an interest in the cultural evolution of museums over the past 100 hundred years will find the pairing of Sachs and Pereda both illuminating and thought provoking—not just in retrospect, but in looking ahead.

Holy dreams Batman!
Flavor Name: Peppermint
This product is so good I had to come back to review it! I originally got this for my daughter since she has terrible insomnia, but she hated the minty taste...so I started taking them along with my husband and wow is all I have to say! It makes me tired and I’ve been having the craziest dreams (I usually never dream or remember them)! Definitely recommend and I actually really like the flavor.

Not fast dissolve. After 20 minutes, it still sits beneath my tongue.
Flavor Name: Peppermint
This is definitely not fast dissolving tablets. My B12 and biotin sublingual tablets dissolve in a couple of minutes but these pills last over 20 minutes.

Good supplement for uric acid support
My dad has been using this support supplement for uric acid for a while and I thought it was a good option. The ingredients feel of quality and are easy to take, as the capsules are of adequate size and do not cause stomach discomfort. I like that it is also focused on kidney support and that it does not have a strong taste or noticeable side effects in my case. It is a convenient alternative to complement a balanced diet and healthy habits. The value for money is good and the packaging performs a lot. In general, I am satisfied with the product and would buy it again.

Great gout relief!
Great ingredients, great price and very effective product. I have gout and had frequent very painful gout attacks, at least several times a year for the past 5 years. By taking the Uric Acid Support Formula in the past year and a half, 2 tablets per day as instructed on the bottle, when I feel an attack coming on, I’ve been able to stop a full attack several times, and have had less than 4 full blown attacks since I began using it. In all fairness, I do also increase my water intake, and often add a celery seed tincture, and simply my diet. Still, adding this Uric Acid formula in conjunction with the other regimes I mentioned has greatly decreased both the amount and severity of gout attacks.
