The image is a photograph of a scrapbook page containing newspaper clippings related to philanthropy and contributions to Harvard University. The clippings are from the New York Times and are dated June 17 and June 18, 1924. The main headline reads "ROCKEFELLER GIVES HARVARD $500,000," indicating a significant donation by John D.

This image shows an open, aged newspaper, identified as The New York Times from June 14, 1934 (Volume 83, Number 27649), resting inside a worn, reddish-brown hardcover book or binder.
The newspaper’s date stamp, “JUNE 14 ’34,” is visible in the upper right corner of the right-hand page, while “JUNE 10 34” appears in blue handwriting in the upper left of the left-hand page — likely a misdating or an annotation.
The headline on the left page reads:
ROCKEFELLER GIVES HARVARD $500,000
Sub-headlines explain that the gift from John D. Rockefeller Jr. will be applied to funds being raised for the Fogg Art Museum. It also states, “COMMITTEE TELLS PLANS” and “TO SEEK NEW PIGMENT,” indicating further details about research and museum development.
The right-hand page, which is slightly torn along the right edge, features the headline:
GIFTS OF $700,000 RECEIVED FOR FUND
It details that Mr. J. D. Rockefeller Jr. and Goldman Sachs & Co. made “Big Contributions,” chiefly for fine arts. A sub-headline notes, “$100,000 Given for Business School — Fine Arts Departments Lacks But $350,000 of Its Quota.” The article goes on to explain that Rockefeller’s $500,000 gift is in honor of President Emeritus Eliot’s 90th birthday and that Goldman Sachs contributed $100,000 to the Fine Arts Department.
The layout is characteristic of early-20th-century newspapers, with dense columns of text, multiple subheadings, and no photographs — relying entirely on typographical hierarchy to organize information.
The newspaper’s yellowed paper and visible creases suggest age and careful preservation, likely collected due to the historical significance of the Rockefeller and Goldman Sachs donations to Harvard University’s Fogg Art Museum and Business School.
