This image displays an open, aged book or bound volume, resting on a neutral surface. The visible pages appear to be from a printed publication, specifically the Harvard University Gazette, as indicated by the prominent masthead at the top of the right-hand page.

The right-hand page is numbered 156 and dated March 31, 1928. The content is organized into several columns and sections:

  1. Main Article: A headline reads “Babylonian Exploration” and features an article by Rev. Godfrey M. Brinley and Prof. David G. Lyon, detailing upcoming lectures on Brinley’s travels in Babylonia.
  2. Museums: Below this, a section with the heading “MUSEUMS” lists the public opening hours for various Harvard museums, including the Museums of Comparative Zoology and Botany, Germanic Museum, Mineralogical and Geological Museums, Peabody Museum, Semitic Museum, Fogg Art Museum, Social Museum, Botanic Garden, Dental Museum, and Warren Anatomical Museum. Each entry specifies days and hours for weekdays, Sundays, and holidays.
  3. President and Fellows of Harvard College: The right-hand column is headed “PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE” and lists official Appointments and Meetings from March 12 and March 26, 1928. It includes appointments of faculty and staff across various departments, such as Chemistry, English, Fine Arts, Mathematics, and the Engineering School, specifying their roles and periods of appointment (e.g., one year, half year, summer).

The left-hand page is mostly obscured by the right page and by an overlying, folded piece of paper. It appears to be from a different publication or section titled “Boston News,” featuring smaller columns of text and a small, stylized logo or emblem at the top. The paper is visibly yellowed and brittle, indicating the document’s age.

The book’s binding is visible on the left edge, showing a dark, textured cover and the worn, thick paper of older bookbinding. A small sticky note or tab is adhered to the top-right corner of the Gazette page, bearing handwritten text that is partially obscured.

In sum, the image captures a historical artifact — a page from the March 31, 1928, Harvard University Gazette — preserved within a bound volume, offering a glimpse into academic life, museum operations, and faculty appointments at Harvard nearly a century ago.
