The image shows an open book with a pasted document on its right-hand page. The document is a "PERMIT FOR USE OF UNIVERSITY BUILDING" from the "PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE," dated February 19, 1951. The permit grants permission to the New England Chapter of the American Musicology Society, represented by Mr. Charles L. Kuhn, to use the Busch-Reisinger Museum in Romanesque Hall for a meeting open to invited guests, with no admission charge. The date specified for the meeting is February 20, 1951, in the evening, and it notes that charges include the cost of heat, light, and janitor service with a stipulation that no smoking is permitted in lecture halls. The document is signed by two people, one of which is the Secretary to the Corporation of Harvard College.

Below the permit there's another notice, an orange square paper advertisement for the "cambridge art association annual spring exhibition at busch-reisinger museum (kirkland street)" which took place from March 12-27, presumably in the same year, and was open on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Handwritten text is present above the orange advertisement, perhaps indicating a title or note related to the advertisement or the meeting. The image has a historical feel and provides an insight into the administrative and cultural activities associated with Harvard College in the early 1950s. The book's pages are slightly discolored with age.
