The plan includes a scale and various labels for different areas such as "Exhibition Hall," "Office," "Toilet," "Storage," and "Work Space." The plan is detailed and shows the layout of the proposed addition to Robinson Hall, with specific areas and their dimensions.
On the right side of the page, there is an article titled "Academy of Arts and Sciences," which discusses the election of new fellows to the Academy during its annual meeting in Boston. The article lists the names and academic titles of the new fellows, including professors and assistant professors from the Harvard Faculty. The text is informative and provides details about the contributions and expertise of these individuals.
The two sections are bordered by a clean, simple design, and the page is well-organized with a clear distinction between the floor plan and the article.
This image is an open booklet or magazine, specifically the "Harvard Alumni Bulletin," showing two adjacent pages (pages 1140 and 1141). The left page (1140) contains a detailed architectural floor plan titled "First-story Plan for Proposed Addition to Robinson Hall." It includes labels for various rooms and spaces such as the "Exhibition Hall (Recreation Room)," "Office," "Toilet," "Storage," and "Work Space." The plan is drawn to scale, with a note indicating that "one sixteenth inch equals one foot."
The text on the left page discusses the proposed addition to Robinson Hall, mentioning the need for a permanent exhibition of building materials, models, and a recreation room for students. It also describes the arrangement of drafting rooms, storage for drawings, and instructor offices.
The right page (1141) contains text discussing the classic brick and stone architecture of Robinson Hall and the University's approach to modern design influences. It mentions the University's adoption of a bold original and practical design inspired by modern architecture in France, Germany, and Scandinavia. The text also lists several Harvard faculty members who were elected as fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, along with their respective degrees and positions.
The overall theme of the pages is the architectural and design considerations for the proposed addition to Robinson Hall at Harvard University, with a focus on blending modern design elements with the existing classic architecture.
This image displays two adjacent, aged pages from the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, specifically pages 1140 and 1141.
The left page (page 1140) features a detailed architectural floor plan titled “First-story Plan for Proposed Addition to Robinson Hall.” The plan, labeled “Scheme ‘B’,” is described as the “Exhibition Floor Plan” of the “Proposed Addition, Robinson Hall, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.” The architectural drawing meticulously illustrates the layout of the proposed addition, including labeled rooms such as “Exhibition Hall,” “Drafting Room,” and “Lecture Hall.” Below the plan, accompanying text discusses the functional design of the new building, its potential use for teaching architectural construction, and how its aesthetic design—particularly the bold horizontal glass—would harmonize with the existing (then) pseudo-classic brick and stone architecture of Robinson Hall. The article notes the building’s irregular shape to accommodate the land and mentions the desire for ample natural light, particularly in the drafting room.
The right page (page 1141) continues the article, delving into the architectural philosophy behind the proposal, advocating for experimentation with modern (at the time) design that harmonizes with the existing Georgian style of Harvard Yard rather than replicating it. It then transitions to a distinct section titled “ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES.” This section reports on the recent annual meeting of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston, listing the 55 Harvard affiliates who were elected as fellows, including professors from various departments such as Mechanical Engineering, Clinical Medicine, Social Ethics, Economics, Law, History, and English.
The pages are printed on off-white, slightly yellowed paper, characteristic of early-to-mid 20th-century publications. The right page has some visible discoloration or stains near the top and bottom edges. The overall presentation suggests this is a historical document discussing architectural proposals and academic recognition at Harvard University.
