This image displays a vintage newspaper clipping mounted on a piece of off-white cardstock, likely preserved by a press clipping service.

The Cardstock (Top Section):

  • At the top, there’s a blue ink stamp from the “Argus Pressclipping Bureau”, located at “852 Third Ave., New York”.
  • Below the stamp, in handwritten cursive, is the signature or name “Fogg”.
  • Beneath the handwritten name is a printed line: “CLIPPING FROM”, followed by the name of the source newspaper in blue stamp ink: “New York Sun”.
  • The date of the clipping is stamped below: “18 JUNE 1928”.

The Newspaper Clipping (Bottom Section):
The clipping itself is a light-brown, aged piece of newsprint with the headline:

“Sachs Family Gives $100,000 to Harvard”

The article, datelined “Boston, June 18”, reports that:

  • Goldman, Sachs & Co., the New York banking firm, donated $100,000 to the Harvard Business School.
  • Members of the Sachs family also contributed $100,000 to the Harvard Fine Arts department. Contributors named include Samuel Sachs, Arthur Sachs, Harry, and Walter Sachs.
  • It notes that Prof. Paul J. Sachs (Harvard ’1900), associate director of the Fogg Art Museum, is the son of Samuel Sachs and a former member of Goldman, Sachs & Co.
  • The article concludes by mentioning that the family of Edward W. Forbes, director of the Fogg Art Museum, also donated $100,000 to the Fine Arts Fund, which now stands at $350,000 toward its $2,000,000 goal.

Overall Context:
This clipping documents major philanthropic contributions from prominent Jewish-American banking and arts families — particularly the Sachs family — to Harvard University in 1928. The clipping was likely filed by the Fogg Art Museum (as suggested by the handwritten “Fogg” and the article’s focus), reflecting their institutional interest in documenting these donations, especially since Prof. Paul Sachs (a key figure in the museum’s history) was involved.

The image appears to be a photograph of a preserved archival artifact, placed against a neutral gray background.
