The page is a composite of several newspaper articles and notices, all dated around March 1930, primarily from the Boston Globe and the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, concerning the Fogg Museum at Harvard University.

The articles report on a significant bequest from Mrs. Nettie Goldsmith Naumburg, the widow of Aaron Naumburg and a philanthropist. The central narrative is:

• The Bequest: Mrs. Naumburg's will provided $125,000 to the Fogg Museum. This fund was specifically designated for the reproduction of her New York City apartment's living room, dining room, and entrance hall on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge.

The articles note that Harvard intended to comply with these terms.

The page also includes a brief announcement from the Crimson newspaper on March 19, 1930, stating that the name of the Old Fogg Museum (also called Robinson Hall Annex) was officially changed to Robinson Hall Annex to resolve confusion between the original and new buildings.
