  4. Footer:

    • At the bottom of the page, there is a partially visible text in a different language (possibly Russian or another script), which appears to be a note or annotation. This suggests the document may have been used or annotated by someone after its original publication.
  5. Condition:

    • The page shows signs of age, with some discoloration, wear, and a slight crease or fold along the spine. The edges are slightly worn, and the paper has a vintage texture.

Overall Impression:

The image captures a snapshot of academic life at Harvard University in the early 20th century. The Harvard University Gazette served as an official medium for communicating important university news, including lectures, museum hours, and faculty appointments. The detailed listings reflect the structured and formal nature of university administration during that era. The inclusion of multilingual annotations at the bottom hints at the document's later use or circulation beyond its original audience.

This page provides valuable historical insight into the academic and administrative practices of Harvard University in 1928.

The image shows a page from the March 31, 1928, edition of the Harvard University Gazette. The page features a mix of text and tables, with the main body of text discussing an upcoming lecture series on Babylonian exploration by Reverend Godfrey M. Brinley. The lecture series is scheduled to take place in Room 1 of the Semitic Museum from Monday to Friday, April 16 to April 23, 1928, at 4:30 p.m. The text also mentions that the lectures will be open to the public and that Professor Lyon will describe the ruins of Ur, Kish, and Babylon. Below the main text, there is a table listing the opening hours and days for various Harvard museums, including the Museum of Comparative Zoology and Botany, the Germanic Museum, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, the Fogg Art Museum, and the Social Museum. The table provides details on the specific hours and days when each museum is open to the public.
