	The Literature Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This study examines three museum professionals who were also educators: John Cotton Dana/Newark Museum (1858-1902), Edgar Holger Cahill/Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Projects (1893-1960), and Dorothy C. Miller/Museum of Modern Art (1905-present.) All three sought to reinstate American art as a vital part of American culture and society.
		Dana trained both Cahill and Miller in his approach to museum management and his philosophy of education; and Cahill and Miller, not only worked together in curating exhibitions of American folk art and contemporary expression, but were also man and wife.
		Dana, Cahill and Miller are therefore examined in terms of their background, the influences on their work and aesthetic philosophies, and the means through which they sought to integrate art in American life.
