The most prominent article, located in the upper left, is titled:
"AMY LOWELL LEFT ESTATE OF $780,355"
It reports on the appraised value of the estate of the poet Amy Lowell, who died May 12, 1925. The article details that she owned $125,600 in securities (now Harvard University's property) and a former Bronx brewer’s property worth over $1 million. It also notes Harvard University accepted her gifts of books and manuscripts, including her library of 16,000 volumes, as well as her personal effects like silver, bric-a-brac, and her typewriter. A sub-headline reads: "EBLING WEALTH $1,125,908".
The largest article, occupying the top right and center, is titled:
"DUTCH MASTERS SHOWN AT FOGG"
This is a lengthy review of an exhibition of 17th-century Dutch master paintings at the Fogg Museum in Cambridge, curated by Professor Adolph Goldschmidt. It mentions works by Rembrandt, Van Dyck (including a portrait of Philip IV of Spain), Terburg, and Vermeer ("The Banks of the Maas"). The review praises the "fascinating quality" of the exhibition, particularly noting Vermeer's work and a tiny portrait of a lady and child by Terburg. It also critiques the presentation as "somewhat dull in tone," but concludes with admiration for the "technical mastery" of the Dutch Masters.
