The paper has two punched holes on the right edge, suggesting it was stored in a binder. The clippings, which are printed in black ink on aged, slightly yellowed paper, appear to be notices and announcements from Harvard University and the Fogg Art Museum during the late 1920s and early 1930s.
The clippings are organized into several discrete sections, each headed by a “Gazette” or “Post” date, indicating they were likely extracted from Harvard's official newspaper.
