The document is a list of research grants awarded by the General Education Board to 22 members of the Harvard Faculty for studies in the humanities. Most grants are intended for completing ongoing studies or publications. Recipients and their research topics are listed, including studies on English plays and playwrights, Greek manuscripts, the life and works of historical figures, philosophy, literature, and language studies. Specific projects mentioned include the preparation of an atlas of American speech, publication of texts like Aschylus, and works on Spanish painting and Elizabethan literature. The document also notes that many of these grants will be used to preserve rare manuscripts.

This image shows a document with two columns of text, headlined "GRANTS TO HARVARD TEACHERS" on the left and "RESEARCH GRANTS GIVEN 22 HARVARD PROFESSORS" on the right. The document includes a detailed list of individuals along with corresponding descriptions of the grants or research subjects.

The left column mentions various subjects such as English plays and playrights in France in the 18th century, Professor R. D. Blake and Mississippi Lake, English photographs, work of Arthur Burkhard, Latin and Works of Hans Burgkmair, and several other academic subjects with associated professors' names.

The right column summarizes the document content by stating that appropriations have been made for studies in humanities to 22 Harvard professors from the General Education Board appropriations. There are references to recipient names such as Grandgent, Kittredge, and Blake, suggesting that these individuals were notable figures within their fields.

It appears to be a historical document, as indicated by the handwriting on the top right corner that states "June 21, 1932," suggesting the document dates from the early 20th century. The layout, typography, and use of an older typewriter font further suggest that this document is from an earlier period.

Additional notes on the document, such as "NAB" and stamped numbers, may indicate that it has been archived or cataloged at some point. The physical wear and yellowing of the paper indicate that it is an original and not a modern printout.

This image shows a page from an old publication detailing research grants awarded to Harvard professors. The page is yellowed and appears to be quite aged, with a typewritten format and a columnar layout typical of old newspaper articles. There are handwritten notes on the top right of the page, which indicate dates ("June 29 1932" and "June 21, 1932") and other shorthand annotations.

The main body of the text is divided into two sections:

1. On the left side, titled "GRANTS TO HARVARD TEACHERS," it lists various recipients along with their areas of study or project titles. Some of the areas mentioned include English plays and playwrights, photography of Greek manuscripts, various historical and literary topics, and studies in languages such as French, Spanish, German, and Latin. Notable names such as Professor R. P. Blake, Professor A. H. Thorndike, Professor G.S. Kittredge, and Professor F. N. Robinson are included with specific details about their projects.

2. On the right side, titled "RESEARCH GRANTS GIVEN 22 HARVARD PROFESSORS," the article announces the awarding of twenty-two grants by the General Education Board for studies in the humanities. The text emphasizes that these grants are mostly designated to complete ongoing studies or publication projects. It reiterates the recipients and their projects, similar to the left column, confirming the specialized subjects granted such as Elizabethan literature, Atlas of American Speech, and Relativity of Language.

Overall, the image captures an important historical moment in academic funding for research in the humanities at Harvard, highlighting various scholarly pursuits and the individuals involved.

The image shows two newspaper clippings side by side, both titled similarly and discussing research grants awarded to Harvard University professors. The titles are:

Left clipping: "GRANTS TO HARVARD TEACHERS"
Right clipping: "RESEARCH GRANTS GIVEN 22 HARVARD PROFESSORS"

Both clippings report on the General Education Board awarding grants to 22 members of the Harvard Faculty for studies in the humanities. The studies mentioned predominantly involve English, history, philology, literature, and related disciplines. The grants are mostly for completing ongoing studies or publications.

The lists of faculty members and their study subjects are nearly identical in both clippings, naming professors such as M. S. Balch (English plays and playwrights in France in the 18th century), R. P. Blake and Kirsopp Lake (photography of Greek manuscripts), Huntington Brown (instructor in English), Arthur Burkhard (life and works of Hans Burgkmair), J. D. M. Ford (letters of the Royal Family of John III of Portugal), and many others with their respective humanities topics.

There are handwritten notes on the page indicating dates: "N & B Jan 29 1932" written between the clippings and "Cremonian Jan. 21, 1932" next to the right clipping. The paper edges show slight wear, and the clipping on the left has a small piece missing on the left margin.

The image depicts a typed document titled "RESEARCH GRANTS GIVEN TO 22 HARVARD PROFESSORS", dated January 21, 1932. The document is a formal announcement detailing research grants awarded by the General Education Board to faculty members at Harvard University. The text is neatly typed on a single sheet of paper, with some handwritten annotations visible in the margins, including a date ("Jan 21, 1932") and a signature or initials ("Greesham").
