PART III, LINE 4 THE SMITH COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART'S HOLDINGS INCLUDE PAINTINGS, SCULPTURES, WORKS ON PAPER (PRINTS, DRAWINGS, PHOTOGRAPHS, AND BOOKS), ANTIQUITIES, DECORATIVE ARTS, AND EMERGING COLLECTIONS OF NON-WESTERN ART. ITS WORKS-ON-PAPER COLLECTIONS ARE HOUSED IN THE CUNNINGHAM CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF PRINTS, DRAWINGS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS, A STATE-OF-THE-ART STUDY AND STORAGE FACILITY WITHIN THE MUSEUM. SMITH COLLEGE BEGAN COLLECTING ORIGINAL WORKS OF ART IN 1879, ONLY FOUR YEARS AFTER IT ENROLLED ITS FIRST CLASS. INITIALLY, PRESIDENT L. CLARK SEELYE BOUGHT WORKS OF CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN ART, OFTEN DIRECTLY FROM THE ARTISTS THEMSELVES, BELIEVING THAT STUDENTS SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH THE ART OF THEIR OWN TIME. AMERICAN ART HAS REMAINED ONE OF THE COLLECTIONS' CORE STRENGTHS. BY THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY, ALFRED VANCE CHURCHILL, THE MUSEUM'S FIRST DIRECTOR, HAD EXPANDED THE COLLECTING SPHERE TO INCLUDE EUROPEAN ART. AT THE REQUEST OF THE COLLEGE'S TRUSTEES, CHURCHILL FORMALIZED THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTING GUIDELINES IN 1920. THESE INVOLVED A "CONCENTRATION PLAN" THAT FOCUSED ON THE MODERN ERA, WHICH HE DEFINED AS BEGINNING WITH THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. HIS PLAN EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLECTING WORKS OF HIGH QUALITY, WHILE RECOGNIZING THE INSTRUCTIONAL VALUE OF PREPARATORY STUDIES AND UNFINISHED WORKS THAT SHOW AN ARTIST'S WORKING METHOD. GUIDED BY THIS PLAN, THE MUSEUM ASSEMBLED IMPORTANT HOLDINGS OF FRENCH ART OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, INCLUDING SUPERB WORKS BY EDGAR DEGAS, JEAN-BAPTISTE-CAMILLE COROT, GUSTAVE COURBET, PAUL CEZANNE, CLAUDE MONET AND OTHERS. THE PLAN WAS REVISITED IN THE EARLY 1990S, AND ACQUIRING WORKS BY WOMEN ARTISTS AND ARTISTS OF COLOR BECAME A COLLECTING PRIORITY. IN THE LAST DECADE, THE COLLECTING PLAN HAS SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDED TO INCLUDE AFRICAN, ISLAMIC, AND, PARTICULARLY, ASIAN ART TO SUPPORT THE COLLEGE'S GLOBAL CURRICULUM. THE NEWEST ACQUISITIONS TO THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION INCLUDE WORKS BY JAUNE QUICK-TO-SEE SMITH, ANA MENDIETA, MISHIMA KIMIYO, TADDEO DI BARTOLO, ROBERT MOTHERWELL AND BETYE SAAR. EXHIBITIONS HAVE INCLUDED THE EYE IS A DOOR: LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHS BY ANNE WISTON SPIM; FRAMEWORK X; RIVER OF GOLD: PRECOLUMBIAN TREASURES FROM SITIO CONTE; LOOK AT ME, ME, ME!; EYE ON THE STREET; SHARED INSPIRATION: THE MURIEL K. AND DAVID R. POKROSS COLLECTION. THE MUSEUM HOSTS SECOND FRIDAYS, FAMILY EVENTS FOR THOSE WHO ARE 4+, THAT HAS INCLUDED INDOOR SCULPTURE SKETCHING, PARQUETRY PATTERNS BASED ON BAUHAUS GRAPHIC DESIGN, CHINESE WATERCOLOR COLLAGES INSPIRED BY POST MAO DREAMING AND KINETIC SCULPTURES. THE SMITH COLLEGE LIBRARIES ADVANCE TEACHING, LEARNING, RESEARCH, AND DISCOVERY FOR SMITH STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF BY OFFERING COLLECTIONS IN MULTIPLE FORMATS, PROVIDING ACCESS TO INFORMATION WORLDWIDE, AND ESTABLISHING SERVICES AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS RESPONSIVE TO USERS' NEEDS. THE LIBRARIES FURTHER SUPPORT WOMEN'S EDUCATION THROUGH AN INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED REPOSITORY OF ARCHIVES AND MANUSCRIPTS DOCUMENTING THE HISTORY OF WOMEN. - WILLIAM ALLEN NEILSON LIBRARY IS THE MAIN LIBRARY WITH STRONG COLLECTIONS IN THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES. - ANITA O'K AND ROBERT R. YOUNG SCIENCE LIBRARY HAS AN EXTENSIVE COLLECTION THAT SUPPORTS RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY, BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, COMPUTER SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, EXERCISE AND SPORTS STUDIES, GEOSCIENCES, HISTORY OF SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS AND PSYCHOLOGY. - HILLYER ART LIBRARY IS A SPECIALIZED BRANCH COLLECTION THAT HOUSES MATERIALS ON THE HISTORY, THEORY, CRITICISM, AND PRACTICE OF THE VISUAL ARTS. - WERNER JOSTEN PERFORMING ARTS LIBRARY SUPPORTS THE TEACHING, LEARNING, RESEARCH, AND PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS OF THE MUSIC, THEATRE AND DANCE DEPARTMENTS. - THE COLLEGE ARCHIVES HOUSES A RICH COLLECTION OF MATERIAL DOCUMENTING THE HISTORY OF SMITH COLLEGE FROM THE 1860S TO THE PRESENT. - MORTIMER RARE BOOK ROOM IS A COLLECTION OF NEARLY 40,000 VOLUMES THAT COVERS THE HISTORY OF PRINTING FROM THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY TO THE TWENTIETH. ALL ASPECTS OF THE BOOK ARTS ARE REPRESENTED. THE COLLECTION IS BEING DIGITIZED, MAKING IT AVAILABLE WITHOUT CHARGE ON THE INTERNET. - THE SOPHIA SMITH COLLECTION IS AN INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED REPOSITORY OF MANUSCRIPTS, PHOTOGRAPHS, PERIODICALS AND OTHER PRIMARY SOURCES IN WOMEN'S HISTORY.
PART IV, LINE 2B THE COLLEGE IS THE FISCAL AGENT FOR THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION OF SMITH COLLEGE, SMITH STUDENTS' AID SOCIETY, INC., ASSOCIATED KYOTO PROGRAM, SMITH COLLEGE CLUB OF NEW YORK CITY AND THE PERKINS LOAN PROGRAM.
PART V, LINE 4 THE SMITH COLLEGE ENDOWMENT PROVIDES A CRITICAL FUNDING STREAM THAT ALLOWS THE COLLEGE TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL AID TO STUDENTS WITH NEED, SHAPE THE COMPOSITION OF ITS FACULTY TO MEET CURRICULAR OBJECTIVES, MAINTAIN AND EXPAND FACILITIES, DEVELOP NEW INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMS TO RESPOND TO CURRENT SOCIETAL AND INTELLECTUAL CHALLENGES, AND KEEP PACE WITH TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES INTEGRAL TO TODAY'S TEACHING AND LEARNING. AT SMITH, THE ENDOWMENT HAS GROWN TO PROVIDE APPROXIMATELY 30% OF OPERATING REVENUE BY EMPLOYING A SPENDING RATE APPROACH THAT SEEKS THE LARGEST RESPONSIBLE ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION TO OPERATIONS WHILE PROVIDING ADEQUATE DOWNSIDE PROTECTION AGAINST PERIODS OF DECLINING RETURNS AND WHILE PRESERVING THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT TO BENEFIT FUTURE GENERATIONS OF STUDENTS. THE TOP FIVE USES OF THE ENDOWMENT FOR FY2015 WERE AS FOLLOWS: UNDERGRADUATE GRANT AID 34%, FACULTY COMPENSATION 19%, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE OF FACILITIES 5%, LIBRARIES 3% & FACULTY RESEARCH SUPPORT 3%. EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2014, THE COLLEGE RECLASSIFIED THE CAPITAL RESERVE FUND THE AMOUNT OF $30.5 MILLION FROM ENDOWMENT TO CO-INVESTED TO MORE PROPERLY REFLECT ITS PURPOSE.
PART X, LINE 2 The college is an organization described under Internal Revenue Code (IRC)Section 501(c)(3) and is generally exempt from federal and state taxes under the Section 501(a) of the Code and applicable state laws. The college believes it has taken no significant uncertain tax positions.
