Here is a detailed description of its contents:

1. The Clipping Source:

  • The clipping is identified as being from the BOSTON GLOBE, located in Boston, Mass.
  • The date of the article is JUN 18 1924.

2. The Newspaper Article:
The article, printed on yellowed newsprint with visible columnar text, announces a significant financial gift to Harvard University. The main headline reads:

HARVARD’S FUND GIVEN $300,000

Below this, a sub-headline details the allocation:

$200,000 for Fine Arts, $100,000 for Business

The article names the donors:

Goldman, Sachs & Co, Families of Sachs and Forbes Donors
Forbes Family Relative Directs Fogg Museum

The body of the article explains that Goldman, Sachs & Co. (bankers at 23 Pine St., New York City), contributed $100,000 to the Harvard Business School. Members of the Sachs family gave a further $100,000 to the Harvard fine arts department. This was announced by Bishop William Lawrence, chairman of the committee raising a $10,000,000 fund.

It notes that Prof. Paul J. Sachs (Harvard 1899, associate director of the Museum) is a son of Samuel Sachs, Sr., a former member of Goldman, Sachs & Co. Samuel Sachs stated the firm’s gift to the business school was due to their “great interest in the development of good management in industrial and commercial companies.” The $100,000 for fine arts included contributions of $50,000 from Samuel Sachs, $25,000 from Arthur Sachs, and $25,000 each from Harry and Walter Sachs. The article also mentions that Edith C. Forbes, a relative of the Forbes family, directs the Fogg Museum.

3. Handwritten Annotation:
On the upper portion of the Argus Bureau paper, above the clipping, there is a handwritten signature or name in black ink: “Fogg M”. This is likely an abbreviation for “Fogg Museum,” indicating that this clipping was probably collected and filed by the museum’s staff.

In summary, the image is a preserved historical artifact—a 1924 newspaper clipping from the Boston Globe detailing a $300,000 donation to Harvard University from Goldman, Sachs & Co. and the Sachs family, with a specific allocation for the Fogg Museum’s fine arts department. The clipping was professionally clipped by Argus Pressclipping Bureau and appears to have been archived by the Fogg Museum itself.
