 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, well sourced, and with an interesting hook. QPQ done. However, Earwig finds a little close paraphrasing: the sentences "In 1927, he became an associate professor of the history of art at Yale University and an associate director of the Yale University Art Gallery. He was professor from 1931 until his retirement in 1957." are very similar to the sentences "He became an associate professor of the history of art at Yale and associate director of the Yale Art Gallery in 1927. Sizer was a professor of art history at Yale University from 1931 until his retirement in 1957." from . I think these need to be rephrased before this can be accepted. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:45, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
