In the left column, a "Concert by Mr. Georges Enesco" is highlighted for Friday, February 15, at 8:15 o'clock. Georges Enesco is described as a "famed Rumanian composer and violinist" and the program lists several musical pieces to be performed by him. The concert venue is mentioned as the John Knowles Paine Concert Hall at the Music Building under the auspices of the Divisions of Music and Fine Arts. Ticket prices are listed as well.

A recital by Mr. Georges Enesco is also highlighted for Friday, February 15, again mentioning the musical pieces to be played.

The right column includes other notices, such as the date for the Harvard Art Society's exhibition postponement, and a section titled "Post", discussing three available fellowships.

The typeset and layout suggest that this is from a printed publication or academic calendar from the early 20th century. The condition of the page, yellowing and with some wear on the edges, indicates its age.
