"Three Members of Harvard Faculty on Lecture Tours": This section discusses three faculty members from Harvard University, Edgell, Ferry, and Whitney, who are to conduct lecture tours across the United States, with the first lecture scheduled for January 17.

"Harvard Regarded as 'Rich Man's' College": This section features an article about Dean G.H. Edgell’s lecture tour to the Western United States. Dean Edgell, returning from a lecture tour in the West, discusses the general attitude towards Harvard and the perception that it is a "rich man's college." The article highlights that while there is admiration for the university's scholastic standards, there is also prejudice, and Dean Edgell’s tour aims to counteract this perception.
The page has holes on the left side, suggesting it was once part of a three-ring binder. There are handwritten notes at the bottom, which seem to be annotations or references.
This image is a scanned document featuring three columns of text, resembling a page from a newspaper or a formal newsletter dated January 8, 1931. The paper has a beige tone and has three holes punched along its left margin, suggesting it was part of a binder or collection.
The headline reads, "THREE MEMBERS OF HARVARD FACULTY ON LECTURE TOURS". Below this, the subheading states, "Object to Strengthen Contacts Between the Graduates of University".

The article lists the attendees, including faculty from the College of William and Mary and other Harvard Club members.
The headline "HARVARD REGARDED AS 'RICH MAN'S' COLLEGE" discusses Dean Edgell’s observations following his tour of Western universities. Edgell notes the mixed feelings toward Harvard, stating that while there is admiration for its academic standards, there is also a perception of Harvard as a place for the wealthy. He addresses this misconception, emphasizing that many Harvard architectural students work part-time to afford their education and that the university supports individualism and independence over standardized education.
At the bottom of the page, there are handwritten notes that appear to be editorial or personal comments. These notes include dates and possible references to specific events or people related to the content of the document.

In summary, the image is a historical document from January/February 1931 detailing a public relations and outreach initiative by Harvard University, specifically through faculty lecture tours across the American West, aimed at engaging alumni and addressing public perceptions of the institution.

The article is titled "Three Members of Harvard Faculty on Lecture Tours" and it discusses the upcoming lecture tours of three Harvard faculty members, Dean G. H. Edgell, Professor E. A. Whitney, and Professor R. M. Ferry. The article mentions that the purpose of the tours is to strengthen contacts between Harvard graduates throughout the country and the university organization. The article also includes information about the itinerary of the faculty members' lecture tours, including the cities they will visit and the topics they will speak on. The article also mentions that Dean Edgell will be visiting various Harvard Clubs and Universities throughout the West to dispel misconceptions about Harvard and its policies.
The image shows a page from a publication, possibly a magazine or newspaper, featuring several articles and announcements. The page is divided into sections, each with its own title and content.
The top section is titled "THREE MEMBERS OF HARVARD FACULTY ON LECTURE TOURS" and includes a brief introduction about three Harvard faculty members who are embarking on lecture tours across the United States over the next two months. The purpose of these tours is to strengthen the ties between Harvard graduates and the university throughout the country and the current organization at Cambridge.
The names of the faculty members are listed, along with their academic positions and the cities they will be visiting during their tours. The article mentions that Dean G. H. Edgell, R. M. Ferry, and E. A. Whitney will be giving lectures in various cities, including San Diego, Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, Washington, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Milwaukee, Akron, Boston, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Cleveland.
The middle section is titled "HARVARD CLUB OF VIRGINIA" and provides details about a regional meeting of the Central Section of the Harvard Club of Virginia held at Williamsburg on January 12, 1931. The meeting was chaired by W. G. Perry, and dinner was served at the Travis House. The article mentions that Mr. Perry gave an illustrated talk on the restoration project, and several members of the Faculty of the College of William and Mary attended as guests.
The bottom section is titled "HARVARD REGARDED AS 'RICH MAN'S' COLLEGE" and features an article by Dean Edgell, who visited many state universities and Harvard Clubs of the West. Dean Edgell found that the general attitude of Western universities towards Harvard is that of mingled respect and prejudice. While they seem to have a wholehearted admiration for the university's scholastic standards, there is an underlying tenor of feeling best expressed in the words "Rich Man's College." Dean Edgell aimed to dispel this misconception by sharing his own experience and showing how 50% of Harvard's architectural students are doing part-time work on the side to keep themselves in the university. He also highlighted Harvard's stance on standardized education, which has been misinterpreted by other colleges as direct criticism.
