The image shows a clipping from the "New York World" dated June 18, 1924. The clipping is from the Argus Pressclipping Bureau located at 352 Third Ave., New York. The main headline reads "SACHS FAMILY GIVES $200,000 TO HARVARAD" and below it is a subheading that states "Bankers Give $100,000 to Art and $100,000 to Expand Business School."

The article details a donation of $100,000 from Goldman Sachs & Co. to the Harvard Business School and an additional $100,000 from members of the Sachs family to the Harvard Fine Arts department. It is attributed to an announcement by Bishop William Lawrence of Massachusetts, the chairman of the committee in charge of raising a $10,000,000 fund for the Harvard Fine Arts department. The article mentions that the donations will be used for the extension of divisions in business administration, fine arts, and chemistry.

Additionally, the clipping notes that John D. Rockefeller Jr. had given $500,000 to a $2,000,000 fund for building and endowing the Fogg Art Museum. Professor Paul J. Sachs, a Harvard graduate class of 1900 and the associate director of the museum, is mentioned as a son of Samuel Sachs, a senior member of Goldman Sachs & Co. The article also specifies the breakdown of the $100,000 for the fine arts, which includes a contribution of $50,000 from Samuel Sachs, $25,000 from Arthur Sachs, and $10,000 each from Harry and Walter Sachs.
