The image is a newspaper clipping from the Boston Globe dated Sunday, April 17, 1932. The clipping is divided into two sections:

1. Left Section:

   • Headline: "Wouldn't George Grosz Do?"
   • Image: A drawing of a woman, identified as the mother of George Grosz, created by Grosz himself. The drawing is from the Storm Centre of League Row and was presented to the Museum of Modern Art by Paul J. Sachs.
   • Caption: "Drawing of his Mother by Grosz, Storm Centre of League Row, Presented to Museum of Modern Art by Paul J. Sachs."

2. Right Section:

   • Headline: "Professors to Sponsor New Educational Plan"
   • Subheadline: "15 Faculty Members Aid Progressive Secondary Education—Place Few Restrictions on Students"
   • Article: The article reports that fifteen members of the Harvard University faculty will sponsor a venture in progressive educational secondary education conducted by the Cambridge School of Weston under Green, headmaster. The plan, supported by R.P. French, calls for minimal restrictions on students and aims to reduce the emphasis on examinations. The sponsors believe that too much emphasis is placed on entrance examinations in secondary schools. The method is intended to stimulate students and reduce laborious class recitation. The article lists the fifteen faculty members, including professors from various disciplines such as Greek literature, psychology, physics, administrative law, and hygiene.

The clipping appears to be a historical document discussing both an artistic contribution by George Grosz and an innovative educational initiative supported by Harvard faculty.

The image shows a yellowed, aged page from a newspaper or magazine. The page is divided into two main sections. On the left, there is an illustration with the title "WOULDN'T GEORGE GROSZ DO!" The illustration, signed "Drawing of His Mother by Grosz," depicts an elderly woman in a thoughtful pose. Below the illustration, there is a caption that reads, "Storm Centre of League Row, Presented to Museum of Modern Art by Paul J. Sachs."

On the right side of the page, there is an article titled "PROFESSORS TO SPONSOR NEW EDUCATIONAL PLAN." The article discusses how 15 faculty members at Harvard University, led by Dean R. P. French, are supporting a progressive secondary education plan with minimal restrictions on students. The article also notes that the emphasis will be on stimulating interest and reducing the focus on college entrance examinations. The article further lists several professors involved in the scheme, including H. W. Smyth, Bronson Crothers, R. Buckingham, and others, along with their respective titles and roles.

The overall condition of the page suggests it is quite old, with some handwritten notes and a date, "April 1932," written at the top, possibly indicating when the article was published or the page was saved.
