HARVARD REGARDED AS "RICH MAN'S" COLLEGE
Dean Edgell Finds Respect Mingled With Prejudice in West
G. H. Edgell '99, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, chairman of the School of Architecture, and professor of Fine Arts, returning yesterday to Cambridge from a protracted lecture tour in the West, said that the "general attitude of the Western universities towards Harvard is that of mingled respect and prejudice. While they seem to have a whole-hearted admiration for Harvard's scholarship, there is an underlying tone of feeling best expressed in the words 'Rich Man's College.'"
Dean Edgell visited many of the state universities and Harvard Clubs of the West, starting his trip with a lecture on Saturday, January 17, at the Harvard Club of San Francisco, and finishing, February 4, with a talk at the Harvard Club of Washington. The tour was taken in connection with the annual meeting of the Associated Harvard Clubs held at the University of Southern California at Los Angeles on January 30 and 31.
Continuing on the subject of the Western attitude towards the University, he said that "one must visit the Western colleges personally in order to appreciate the impression which Harvard, particularly in the graduate schools, has made upon the students. The general attitude of the School of Architecture goes to show that fully one half its membership consists of Western graduates.
"At the same time they cannot seem to remove the long-standing prejudice that Harvard is the school for the rich boys and that the students are not as a whole as well rounded as those of the Western universities. The purpose of my trip this year was in part to destroy that superstition, by showing out of my own experience how 50 per cent of my architectural students are doing part-time work on the side in order to keep themselves in school. This is the kind of the University that the Western students do not seem to understand, but it has attached it with favor of individualism and independence, has caused considerable misunderstanding among colleges which have misinterpreted the mission as distinct from the Massachusetts Institution I have striven to correct."

The article titles read:
The content suggests that these articles are discussing events, opinions, and activities related to Harvard University, its faculty, and its perception in different regions. The text is small and dense, making it difficult to read the full articles without zooming in or having a higher resolution image. However, the visible text does provide a general understanding of the themes covered in the document. At the bottom left, there seems to be some reference numbers or a cataloging system, potentially indicating the document is part of a library, archive, or specific collection.
The image shows a newspaper clipping from January 1931. It consists of three columns of text, with the following headings:
The first column describes the plans of three Harvard University faculty members, Edgell, Perry, and Whitney, to undertake lecture tours to strengthen contacts between graduates of the university. It details their itinerary, which includes visits to various cities in the United States such as San Diego, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, Cincinnati, Richmond, and Pittsburgh.
The second column reports on a regional meeting of the Harvard Club of Virginia held in Williamsburg on January 12, 1931. It includes the names of attendees and the activities of the club, such as the restoration project discussed during the meeting.
The third column discusses Dean Edgell's perspective on the reputation of Harvard as a "rich man's college" and his efforts to address and correct this perception during his tour of the Western colleges. Edgell emphasized the need to increase contact between the university and its graduates.
Key passages include the specific dates and lecture stops for the faculty members and Dean Edgell's speech to the Harvard Club of Virginia discussing the prejudices associated with Harvard and how he intended to overcome them.
The newspaper clipping is affixed to a piece of paper that has notation "HAB 29 Jan" and handwritten text at the bottom stating "Crimson on Feb 10, 1931."

The first article is titled "THREE MEMBERS OF HARVARD FACULTY ON LECTURE TOURS." It discusses three Harvard faculty members—Edgell, Ferry, and Whitney—who are planning to embark on protracted lecture tours across the United States. The article outlines their itineraries and the purpose of these tours, which is to strengthen contacts between Harvard graduates nationwide. Dates and locations for their talks in various cities such as San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, Washington, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Milwaukee, Akron, Boston, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Cleveland are mentioned.
The second article is titled "HARVARD CLUB OF VIRGINIA." It reports on a regional meeting of the Central Section of the Harvard Club of Virginia held in Williamsburg on January 12, 1931. It mentions that W. G. Perry gave an illustrated talk on the restoration of Williamsburg’s colonial city. The piece also lists some attendees and notes that Dean George H. Edgell of the Harvard Architectural School will be a guest of the Harvard Club of Virginia on February 2.
The third article is titled "HARVARD REGARDED AS 'RICH MAN'S' COLLEGE." It includes statements from Dean George H. Edgell, who recently returned from a lecture tour in the West. Edgell discusses the mixed reputation Harvard has in Western states, including perceptions of Harvard as a center of snobbery and aristocracy, but he argues to dispel this prejudice. He mentions showing his own experience of how many architectural students work part-time and defends Harvard’s stance on standardized education and individualism. The article also notes Edgell’s visits to several Western universities and Harvard clubs.
There are handwritten notes at the bottom identifying dates as "Crimson 8 Jan. 1931" and "Harvard Crimson 29 Jan.," as well as "Crimson on Feb 10 1931." The content and format suggest these are clipped pages from the Harvard Crimson newspaper from early 1931.
