The page also includes a smaller article on the left side about the allocation of special means for research at Harvard, detailing the importance of the Milton and Clark Funds in supporting academic research.

The image shows a scrapbook page with two newspaper clippings attached. The main clipping in the center is from the "Harvard Alumni Bulletin" dated April 9, 1931, titled "Milton and Clark Awards." It discusses awards amounting to more than $60,000 given from the Milton and Clark Funds to Harvard University teaching staff for research during the academic year 1931-32. The article lists the names of awardees along with their academic titles, departments, and research topics, which include diverse fields such as history, English literature, law, chemistry, geography, anthropology, geology, natural history, astronomy, art, languages, and zoology.

To the left side of the page, there is a narrow, vertical clipping with the headline "$60,000 Awarded for Research at Harvard," which provides additional details about the awards and the research projects supported by these funds. Handwritten on the left margin of the page is a note stating "Transcript April 9, 1931." There is also a small handwritten notation at the top left reading "A4-12." The page has three hole punches along the right side, indicating it was likely stored in a binder. The overall appearance is that of an archival or historical document collecting information about research grants awarded at Harvard in 1931.

The image shows a scanned document, specifically a page from the "Harvard Alumni Bulletin" dated April 9, 1937. The title of the main article is "Milton and Clark Awards." The article discusses monetary awards given to members of the faculty at Harvard University, totaling more than $60,000, for various research projects and academic efforts during the years 1931-32. There are names of individual faculty members alongside descriptions of their respective research endeavors or projects for which the grants will be used.

The text is in two columns and there is a margin on the left side with handwritten annotations, including "A+10 a-37", indicating some form of filing or referencing system. The paper also has three punched holes on the left margin indicating it was probably stored in a binder. The overall condition of the document suggests it is well-preserved, with clear and legible text. The content of the article provides insights into the academic culture and research funding at Harvard University during the era.
