The Newspaper Clipping (Bottom Section):

“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.

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.
