This image shows a page from the "Harvard Alumni Bulletin," dated January 4, 1923. The page contains an article titled "The School of Architecture and the Department of Fine Arts" written by Professor G. H. Edgell, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture. The article discusses the educational philosophy and practices of the Harvard School of Architecture and Department of Fine Arts, emphasizing the importance of a broad cultural and academic training for both architects and artists.
The text mentions that the young architect entering the school at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and combining work for the bachelor's and architect's degrees in four years, may acquire a quick facility and launch himself early in his career.

It states that the aims of the School and the Department are to produce architects and offer adequate instruction in the subject of the Fine Arts to a large number of undergraduates, and to start a few upon careers which will make them artists, directors of museums, or scholars in the history of art.
