	John Singer Sargent on the North Shore
		Although John Singer Sargent was born in Florence and spent much of his life abroad, he appears to have taken a keen interest in the 1918 efforts of his cousins Charles Sprague Sargent and Winthrop Sargent to transform "an interesting and historic old house in Gloucester, Massachusetts," into a museum.
		On one of his visits to Gloucester, Sargent gave the museum his father's medical account book from 1852; he also gave several rolls of French wallpaper which was put on the walls of the museum's dining room.
		In addition to the two oil portraits of his parents and a charcoal sketch of Charles Sprague Sargent done in 1919, the museum's collection includes three small bronze sculptural pieces, a group of four pencil sketches done in childhood, and two watercolors.

		Sargent was a typical late Victorian prodigy- tireless, infinitely knowledgeable, and devoted to his cause-and was surely the grandest and most influential figure in American horticulture.
		Sargent had been superintendent of the Botanic Garden until 1879, when he relinquished that post to give all his attention to the formation of Arnold Arboretum, which eventually replaced the Botanic Garden as the center of Harvard's horticultural world.
		This highly influential journal, embracing a broad range of subjects and concerns, was the creation of Charles Sprague Sargent; Falconer's appearance in its pages is one more telling indication of his standing among the leaders of his profession.

	Why Do Yellow Birds Sing?
		Gray became professor of natural history at Harvard and spent decades, as did many plant hunters, in a fruitless search for a living representative of the species.
		In 1886, Charles Sprague Sargent, first director of the Arnold Arboretum, working to help prevent the extinction of the species, found the very locale where Michaux collected the type specimen.
		His fascination with it may have been because its similarity to a Japanese shortia fueled his belief in a preglacial flora that had encircled the globe and seemed to help prove the theories of Charles Darwin, of whom Gray was an enthusiastic supporter.

		Charles Sprague Sargent, the first director of the Arnold Arboretum, envisioned a first-class research facility paired with an elegant park that would draw accolades from academics and the public alike.
		More than 130 years later, Sargent's current successor, Bob Cook, planning for the arboretum's future, finds himself facing opposition from residents whose homes abut an adjacent parcel of land where Cook hopes to build a research laboratory.
		With planning still in the early stages, Cook hesitated to put a price on the project, but said it probably would run between $20 million and $30 million, which would come from the arboretum's reserves and fund-raising.
