This image appears to be a scanned copy of a newspaper article from "The Harvard Crimson," dated Monday, December 15, 1930. The article is titled "Crimson Concludes Confidential Guide to Courses in Second Half" and discusses the culmination of the annual guide to courses for the second half of the academic year. The guide is described as being composed of more than twenty half-courses and includes the opinions of undergraduate critics. It is noted that the guide is a confidential resource and that study cards must be filed by the next afternoon.

The article mentions specific courses, such as "Economics 5" and "English 22," and provides details about their professors, times, and instructors. The article also discusses the Fine Arts courses, including "Fine Arts 1D" and "Fine Arts 5K," along with their professors, times, and instructors.

Additionally, there is a smaller section in the image that appears to be a separate advertisement or notice. It is titled "TO MAKE ITS TUBERCULOSIS ASS" and seems to be cut off, making it difficult to decipher the full message. The text is styled in a bold, blocky font that stands out from the rest of the article.

This image is a scanned page from a newspaper or magazine dated December 15, 1930, from Cambridge, Massachusetts. The content appears to be a guide to courses, likely for a university or college, and includes information about various courses and professors.

The main headline reads: "Crimson Concludes Confidential Guide to Courses in Second Half." It mentions that more than twenty half courses are treated by undergraduate critics and that study cards must be filed by the next day. The text explains that the Crimson (presumably the student newspaper) concludes its annual Confidential Guide to courses beginning in the second half year, and it includes details about the courses and their instructors.

The courses mentioned include:

• Economics 5, taught by Professor Burbank on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9 o'clock.
• Fine Arts 1D, taught by Professor Edgell on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 11 o'clock.
• English 22, taught by Mr. Hersey on Tuesday and Thursday at 2 o'clock and conferences.
• Fine Arts 5K, taught by Dr. Kuhn on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10 o'clock.

There is also a large, bold advertisement at the bottom that reads: "TO MAKE IT S NEEDS COOPER TUBERCULOSIS ASS CAMBRIDG," which seems to be an incomplete or partially obscured message, possibly related to a tuberculosis awareness campaign or cooperative effort in Cambridge.

The page has a vintage look, with yellowed paper and typewritten text, indicating its age. There are also some physical marks and holes, suggesting it might have been part of a binder or folder.

The main headline reads:

Crimson Concludes Confidential Guide to Courses in Second Half

A sub-headline adds:

More Than Twenty Half Courses are Treated by Undergraduate Critics—Study Cards Must be Filed by Tomorrow Afternoon

Content Summary:

The article introduces the newspaper’s annual “Confidential Guide to Courses” for the second half of the academic year. It explains that the reviews are written by upperclassmen who have taken the courses, and that the Crimson assumes no responsibility for the opinions expressed.

It includes brief, witty, and critical reviews of specific courses, including:

• Economics 5 (Professor Burbank) – Noted for having mostly undergraduates.
• English 22 (Mr. Hersey) – Described as a course where “you get out of it only what you put into it,” with large enrollments and limited individual criticism.
• Fine Arts 1D (Professor Edgell) – A scathing review calling it a “sketchy, disconnected resume” of world art, suggesting the professor might be better off reading critical summaries than teaching. The review humorously notes he “wouldn’t have to memorize those d-n slides.”
• Fine Arts 5K (Dr. Kuhn) – Praised as a successful course on the “History of Flemish Painting,” taught efficiently by Dr. Kuhn, who has previously taught it.

In the lower-left corner, there is a visually striking, inverted (upside-down) advertisement for the Cambridge Tuberculosis Association, which reads:

TO MAKE ITS NEEDS COOPER

The ad appears flipped vertically, as if it were printed on the other side of the page or inserted upside down.

Overall Impression:

The tone of the article is informal, satirical, and opinionated, typical of student newspaper “course guides.” The reviews are both informative and humorous, reflecting campus culture and student perspectives on professors and course content in the early 20th century. The inverted ad suggests either a printing error, a later insertion, or an artifact of archival handling.

This page serves as a historical snapshot of Harvard student life and academic discourse in 1930.

The image shows a printed document, which appears to be a section of a newspaper or magazine. The top of the page has a bold, black title that reads "Crimson Concludes Confidential Guide to Courses in Second Half."

The content of the page is a continuation of a series of articles reviewing courses offered at the university, with a focus on those beginning in the second half of the academic year.

The article also includes a call to action for students to complete and file their study cards by a specific deadline.

The image shows a page from a newspaper, with the date of December 15, 1926, and the location of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The newspaper is titled "The Crimson," and the page is about the conclusion of the annual "Confidential Guide to Courses" that began in the second half of the year.

The article mentions that more than twenty half-courses are treated by undergraduate critics, and study cards must be filed by tomorrow afternoon. The editors of The Crimson assume no responsibility for the opinions expressed in the guides, and they believe that it is impossible to foresee all changes in the conduct of courses that take place from year to year.

The article also includes a schedule of courses, including Economics 5, Professor Burbank, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9 o'clock, and English 99, Mr. Hersey, Tuesday and Thursday at 2 o'clock and conferences.

There is also an advertisement for Fine Arts 1D, Professor Edgell, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 11 o'clock, which is described as a half-course that can justify Fine Arts 1d as a sketchily and disconnected resume of the world's art from the time of the Christians catacombs and drew pictures while away at nickels to construct his pedagogical conversations as "What do you think of Javanese Art?" so that you won't claim it's founded on cubism, why take the course.

The advertisement also mentions that Professor Edgell would be one of the best whole courses offered in the University and that he is given sufficient time to present his material in a manner of information as he must wish to do, a man might, in the end, have more than a dilettantism to display on the most superficial occasion.

The article concludes with a mention of Fine Arts 5K, Dr. Kuhn, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10 o'clock, which is described as the second time that the University has given Arts 5K, by the name of the Catalogue by the name of the "History of Flemish Painting." This field of Fine Arts has long needed covering, and Dr. Kuhn, who has been working in past years with Dr. Deschmid, succeeds in presenting the work in an efficient fashion. He understands the teaching of the fine arts and hence is able to give the course in the way most satisfactory to undergraduates.
