Both pages feature articles with dense text in columns. Each page also contains a black and white photograph related to Harvard University: on the left, we see "McKinlock Hall, the New Freshman Dormitory," which is a photo of a building in a state of partial construction with scaffolding visible. On the right, there is "Beginning of the Business School Buildings," showing an early stage of construction with some structural elements in place amid what appears to be a construction site. The open book is resting on a surface, and the pages are slightly curled at the edges, showing signs of wear. The photographs and articles suggest the content is related to developments and expansions at Harvard University during the time of publication.
