This image displays a single, aged page from a newspaper or university newsletter, likely from Harvard University in the late 1920s or early 1930s, based on the content and style. The page is titled "Crimson" (referring to The Harvard Crimson, the university's daily student newspaper) and is dated October 1929, with various article snippets marked with dates ranging from October 4 to October 21.

The page is a multi-column clipping sheet, seemingly assembled for archival purposes, with handwritten notes (e.g., "Crimson Oct. 4", "Crimson Oct. 18", "Crimson Oct. 19") identifying the original source and date of each article section. Three hole punches along the right edge suggest the page was stored in a binder.

The content revolves around two major themes:

  1. The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard:
    The page announces a lecture series on the works of Rembrandt, to be delivered by Professor Arthur Mayger Hind, Assistant Keeper of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum. This is the 19th installment of the Charles Eliot Norton Professorship of Poetry, established by C.C. Stillman in 1918. The lectures are scheduled to begin on November 12 and continue through February, with eight main lectures and several subsidiary ones. The schedule is detailed: Nov. 12 (Intro), Nov. 19 (Rembrandt's School), Dec. 3 & 10 (Histories), Feb. 4 & 11 (Portraits), Feb. 18 (Landscapes), Feb. 25 (Conclusion). The lectures will be given in the large lecture room of Fogg Museum.

  2. A Concurrent Exhibition at the Fogg Art Museum:
    The lectures are paired with an exhibition of etchings by Rembrandt, which is being held in conjunction with the lecture series. The exhibition, drawn primarily from the Fogg Museum's own collection but including some items loaned from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, showcases Rembrandt's evolution from his early, precise style to his later, bolder characteristics. Museum officials praised the exhibit for showing his versatility and the breadth of his subject matter, highlighting key works like “Raising of Lazarus,” “Hundred Guilder Print,” and “Christ Presented to the People.” The exhibit will run until the end of February.

A small, black-and-white photograph is included, captioned “PROFESSOR ARTHUR MAGGER HIND.” The image (likely a typo for “MAYGER HIND”) depicts a man in a suit walking near a brick wall.

Additional smaller notes or excerpts on the page relate to other exhibitions at the Fogg Art Museum, including objects from expeditions to Kirmuk, Iraq, and a memorial exhibition for Charles Herbert Moore, as well as a mention of the "Crimson Oct. 6" article detailing the Norton Professorship and its history.

Overall, the page serves as a promotional and informational clipping, documenting a significant cultural event at Harvard: the prestigious Norton Lecture series on Rembrandt, paired with a major exhibition of his etchings. Professor Hind, a prominent British scholar, is the central figure of the announcement.
