This image displays three pieces of aged, yellowed news clippings arranged on a plain, light grey background.

The topmost clipping is a small, rectangular header, likely from a newspaper's newsroom or clipping service. It reads:

• BOSTON NEWS CLIP
• 120 Tremont Street
• Boston 8, Mass.
  Below a line, it says "Post Boston, Mass." and has a date stamp that appears to read JUL 14 1940.

The two larger clippings below appear to be from the same article, cut and arranged side-by-side.

The left clipping features a bold, large headline: HOUSES LEFT TO HARVARD. Below the headline, someone has written "128F" in red ink. The article text below states:

• Two houses on Chestnut st., Beacon Hill, and the art collection in one of them, have been left to the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University by the late Dr. Richard P. Strong, former Harvard professor and authority on tropical medicine.
• His will, disposing of a $200,000 estate, was filed and allowed in the Probate Court at Newport, R. I., last month.
• It also notes that a copy of his will was filed in Suffolk Probate Court because of the property.

The right clipping continues the article:

• It confirms the houses left to Harvard are at 107 and 109 Chestnut st., at the intersection of Brimmer st.
• It quotes the will, stating that the house at 107 is “furnished largely with articles of art which Mrs. Strong collected abroad.”

Additionally, handwritten notes in pencil and red ink appear on the clippings:

• Below the main headline on the left, "Hub Property and Art" and "Go to Museum" are written.
• The sentence mentioning "$200,000" and the phrase "articles of art" are underlined in red. The word "furnished" is also underlined in red.

The clippings are visibly aged, with some small tears along the edges, suggesting they are archival materials preserved from 1940. The overall impression is that of a preserved news article documenting a significant bequest to Harvard University.
