This image shows a page from the "Harvard Alumni Bulletin," dated December 13, 1928. The page number is 346, located at the top left corner. The content on the page is divided into two main sections: "Candidates for Honors" and "Public and Private School Men."
This section discusses the number of Harvard undergraduates who are candidates for honors. It mentions that this year, there are more candidates for honors than ever before, with 830 out of 2,370 concentrators, representing 35% of the total. This is an increase of 3.7% over the previous year and 6.7% over the year before. It provides detailed statistics on the fields of concentration chosen by the members of the class of 1931, listing the number of students in various fields such as Economics, English, History, Romance Languages, Fine Arts, Bio-chemical Sciences, and others.
This section presents statistics comparing the academic performance of students who enter Harvard from public schools versus those from private schools. It indicates that men who enter Harvard from public schools do better work in their freshman year than those from private schools or tutoring schools. The figures cover the freshman years of the classes which will graduate in June 1929 and 1930, respectively. It provides specific numbers of students from public schools, private schools, and tutoring schools, along with their academic performance metrics such as Dean's List placements and unsatisfactory records.
The text is neatly typed and formatted, with clear headings and subheadings for easy reading. The page appears to be part of a larger document or publication, likely a newsletter or bulletin aimed at Harvard alumni.
This image shows an open, aged book or bound volume, likely a scrapbook or archival collection, displaying a single page from the Harvard Alumni Bulletin dated December 13, 1929.
Here’s a detailed description:
Physical Object: The book has a dark, textured hardcover binding, which appears worn, especially at the corners and spine, indicating age and use. The pages are off-white or cream-colored, slightly yellowed with age, and show some minor stains and foxing (small brown spots). The pages are thick and seem to be attached to the binding with tape or a similar adhesive on the left-hand side, suggesting they may have been mounted into a scrapbook. The right-hand page is partially visible and appears to be another page from the same publication.

Overall Impression: The image captures a historical document preserved in a physical volume. The content provides a snapshot of Harvard's undergraduate demographics and academic performance statistics in 1929. The aged appearance of the paper and cover, along with the handwritten annotation, convey a strong sense of historical context and archival preservation.
The image shows an open book with two columns of text. The left column contains a list of candidates for honors, while the right column contains a section titled "PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOL MEN." The left column provides statistics on the number of concentrators in various fields of study at Harvard University, including History, Literature, Fine Arts, Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences, Mathematics, Philosophy, Government, Psychology, and others. It also mentions the percentage of concentrators in each field and the number of concentrators who have shown sufficient work to be considered for honors. The right column discusses the performance of men from public and private schools who entered Harvard in 1929, highlighting the number of men from private schools who were placed on the Dean's List at the end of their freshman year.
The image depicts a page from a publication, specifically the "Harvard Alumni Bulletin," dated December 13, 1928. The page is numbered 346 and features two main sections: "Candidates for Honors" and "Public and Private School Men."
Candidates for Honors:
The section titled "Candidates for Honors" discusses the number of Harvard undergraduates who are candidates for honors in various fields of study. It mentions that the number of candidates for honors has increased by 6.7 percent over the previous year, totaling 2,370 candidates, which is 35 percent of the whole number. The largest fields with candidates for honors are History and Literature, Fine Arts, and the Biological Sciences. The text also notes that the number of seniors concentrating in Mathematics, History and Literature, and the Department of History and Literature are more significant than those for regular candidates. The combined field of concentration, Government and Economics, is by far the largest in the college, enrolling 775 members in that division, and has shown a steady gain since 1926. Economics has become the largest single field until this year, displacing English, which now counts 417 members, as against 394 concentrators. The combined field of Modern Languages, containing the Romance Languages, German, and English, is considerably larger than any other combined field except History, Government, and Economics.
Public and Private School Men:
The section titled "Public and Private School Men" provides statistics about the fields of concentration chosen by members of the class of 1931. It lists the number of men in different fields such as English, History, Economics, and others. It also discusses the performance of men from public schools compared to those from private schools. The text mentions that of the 880 men who were enrolled in the class of 1929 during their freshman year, 436 came from public schools, 411 from private schools, and 33 from tutoring schools. It notes that of the 436 who entered from public schools, 102 obtained ranks which gave them places on the Dean's List, and of the 411 men from private schools, 53 were put on the Dean's List and 92 had unsatisfactory records. The number of men who entered the class of 1930 from public schools was eight more than the number from private schools, but the number in the former classification who were placed in the first three groups of the Rank List at the end of their freshman year was 123, while the number in the latter classification was 106.
The page is well-organized with clear headings and detailed statistics, reflecting the academic focus and achievements of Harvard students during that period.
