This image displays an open, aged book or bound volume, likely a Harvard University Gazette from the early 1920s, resting on a light blue surface. The pages are yellowed with age and show some wear and tear, particularly along the edges and binding. On the left-hand page, a piece of paper—appearing to be a newspaper clipping or advertisement—is pasted over the original text. The right-hand page is titled “UNIVERSITY GAZETTE” at the top and numbered 167.

Left Page (Partially Covered):

The visible portion of the original page shows columns of text, but most is obscured by the pasted paper. The clipping appears to be from a British newspaper or magazine. Prominent headings on the clipping include:

• “Spanish Art Gallery — OLD MASTERS Antiques” — with the address “50, Conduit Street, LONDON, W. 1.” and proprietor “LIONEL HARRIS.”
• “The Bachstitz Gallery — HIGH CLASS PAINTINGS” — located in The Hague, Holland.
• Another advertisement for “WILDENSTEIN” at “114-116, NEW BOND ST., LONDON, W.”, dealing in “Paintings, Drawings, Engravings, Etchings, Lithographs, Woodcuts, and other Graphic Arts.”
• Near the top, a small, torn fragment of another clipping mentions “TWO NEW PROFESSORS OF LAW AT HARVARD.”

This page contains official announcements and information from Harvard University.

SUMMER SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES AND OF EDUCATION

It details the 1923 Summer School session, scheduled from Monday, July 2, to Saturday, August 11. Course offerings include:

• Architecture, Astronomy, Chemistry, Economics, Education, Engineering Sciences, English, Fine Arts, French, Geology, German, Government, Greek, History, Horticulture, Hygiene, Italian, Latin, Mathematics, Medical Sciences, Music, Philosophy, Physical Education, Physics, Psychology, Public Speaking, Social Ethics, and Spanish.

It notes that most courses are accepted as half-courses toward A.B., A.M., and S.B. degrees, but not as substitutes for full courses in the regular curriculum. A recent vote by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of Education allows undergraduates with an average of B or better to count one summer course toward an A.B. or S.B. degree — but not more than one half-course. It also advises undergraduates from other colleges to consult their Dean and the Director of the Summer School.

HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY

This section describes special collections in the library’s Treasure Room and Widener Room:

• In the Treasure Room:

  1. Documents and records relating to the early history of the College.
  2. Early editions of The Plays of Dryden, with illustrations from the Theatre Collection.
  3. A collection of commemorative War Medals from France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Austria, Serbia, Roumania, and other countries — loaned by Mr. William M. Welch of Boston.

• In the Widener Room:
  First editions and manuscript copies.

Overall Impression:

The image presents a fascinating juxtaposition: on one side, official Harvard institutional notices from the academic year 1922–23, and on the other, a scrapbook-style addition of European art gallery advertisements. This suggests the book may have been used as a personal record or memento by someone connected to both Harvard and the European art world — perhaps a student, professor, or collector. The visible annotations (e.g., the small “A” above the “University Gazette” heading) and the taped-in clipping further indicate personal use and historical value beyond its original purpose.

The left page has an advertisement for "Old Masters Antiques" and other advertisements related to art and antiques, including one for an art gallery and another for a furnishing and fabric company.
