The page is yellowed with age and contains several pasted newspaper articles and notices, primarily from October 1920, focused on academic and social events at Harvard University and its affiliated institutions, such as the Fogg Art Museum.
Top Section: Academic Schedule
At the very top, the page is dated “TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14” and “WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15,” listing university events:
Tuesday, October 14:
Wednesday, October 15:
These sections have handwritten annotations in pencil: “Gazette Oct 12” next to the Tuesday schedule, and “Transcript Oct 14” next to the Wednesday schedule, likely referencing the source newspapers.
Middle Section: Articles on American Culture and Art
This section features three distinct articles:
Headline: “AMERICANS RUSH, HURRY TOO MUCH, SAYS GOLDSCHMIDT”
This article features a commentary by Professor Adolph Goldschmidt, a visiting lecturer from the University of Berlin and the first incumbent of the Kuno Francke Chair of German Art and Culture. He criticizes the American tendency for excessive haste, noting that Americans rush through everything—work, leisure, and even watching sports—without taking time to reflect and enjoy. In contrast, he praises European (particularly German) ways, where people are more interested in crowds, museums, and the old world’s heritage, not just the new buildings. He is quoted as saying, “It is not so good, though, this rushing, hurrying life: people are not happy.” The article is captioned “Crimson Oct. 1, 1920,” suggesting it was published in the Harvard Crimson.
Headline: “Edward W. Forbes School of Fine Arts Lecturer”
This short notice announces that Edward W. Forbes of the Fogg Art Museum will lecture on “manuscript illumination” to the senior class of the School of Fine Arts. It is part of a series on technical subjects given by Mr. Forbes. Above this clipping is a handwritten note: “Transcript Oct 14”.
Headline: “Comments on New York”
This is a brief continuation of Professor Goldschmidt’s observations, likely from the same article, where he comments on New York. He finds the new skyscrapers and architecture “rather dull,” noting that they lack the “medieval type of architecture” he sees in Europe and that the general appearance is “rather monotonous.” He finds little in New York that interests him as an artist, unlike in Europe where he finds “more interesting things to visit, museums, for example.”
Bottom Section: Social Announcement
This section is a detailed society notice:
Headline: “Bostonians See Miss Potter Wed Today”
This is a lengthy article about the wedding of Miss Pauline Potter to Mr. Richard D. Sears, Jr. It lists the wedding party, including the best man (Mr. Sears’ brother-in-law, Mr. Leslie), the bridesmaids (Misses Florette Penna, Miss Pauline Penna, Miss Florence Penna), the ushers, and the guests of honor. It also details the wedding ceremony at Emmanuel Church, the reception at the home of the bride’s parents (Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Potter at 404 East 5th Street, New York), and the attire of the bride, who will wear a “Lannvin gown of pale yellow satin and a long gold veil.” The article concludes by listing a long array of prominent Boston and New York attendees, including Thomas Laughlin, John Fitzgerald of London, and David Bonnal. It is captioned “Transcript Oct. 11,” indicating its source.
Overall Impression
The collection of clippings forms a snapshot of Harvard intellectual and social life in October 1920. It highlights the university’s academic offerings (classics, geology, art history), the international exchange of ideas (through visiting professor Goldschmidt), and the integration of campus life with Boston’s high society (the Potter-Sears wedding). The handwritten annotations suggest the page’s compiler was organized and kept track of the source and date of each clipping. The overall tone is formal, academic, and focused on the cultural elite of the era.
