This image shows an open, aged book, likely a course catalog or program guide for the Lowell Institute, situated in Boston. The left-hand page is headed with the title “Lowell Institute” printed in a large, bold, black serif font. Below this, the page details course offerings for a “First-year Buildings Course” and a “Second Year,” covering subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Structural Design, and Electrical Laboratory work. It notes that satisfactory completion of these two years grants certificates, with the school year beginning October 1, 1928. It also specifies attendance requirements.
The right-hand page, marked “Transcript” at the top with handwritten notes in pencil, contains the section “SERIES III. COLLEGIATE COURSES.” These courses are now under the University Extension Courses and are associated with a degree from the University of Boston. Admission requirements are listed, including age (at least 18), entrance exams in key subjects (Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, etc.), and a recommendation from Professor Charles F. Park of MIT.
The collegiate courses are divided into two major divisions:
Division I — Evening Courses. This section is subdivided into Group I, II, III, and IV. It lists courses such as Astronomy (Prof. Harlan T. Stetson, Harvard), Elementary Economics (Dr. Edward H. Chamberlin, Harvard), English Composition (Prof. Frank E. Seavy, Tufts), Modern Drama (Prof. Joseph Richard Taylor, Boston University), and History of Russia (Prof. Kenneth J. Conant, Harvard). Locations include Harvard University, Boston University, and Tufts College, with dates and fees (generally $2.50 or $5.00) specified.
Division II — Day Courses. This division includes Modern Poetry and History of Renaissance Architecture, both taught at Harvard University by Professors William Y. Eliot and Kenneth J. Conant, respectively. These are generally scheduled in the afternoon or early evening.
The book itself exhibits signs of age: the pages are yellowed and slightly brittle, and the spine of the volume is dark brown leather or cloth, visible on the right edge. At the bottom of the left page, a small snippet of a printed newspaper clipping is glued onto the page, though its text is largely illegible. The overall impression is of a historical academic document from the late 1920s.
