This image shows a vintage newspaper clipping, mounted on a piece of agency letterhead, dated June 8, 1950.
The clipping is from the Providence, R.I. Independent, as indicated by the “Bulletin (e)” heading on the letterhead from the New England Newslip Agency, Inc., which lists its address in Boston and phone number as HAncock 6-9297. The circulation of the newspaper is noted as 137,239. A stamped date, “JUN 8 1950,” is visible across the top of the clipping and letterhead.
The article itself, titled “Scientist Dies; Got Brown Honor Monday”, reports the sudden death of Thomas Whittemore, a 79-year-old noted Harvard archaeologist. He had received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Brown University the day before (Monday, June 6, 1950) during its Commencement parade, presented by President Dr. Henry M. Wriston.
The article states that Whittemore, while en route to an appointment at the U.S. State Department with John Foster Dulles (then GOP foreign affairs adviser), collapsed and died suddenly in Washington, D.C. The Associated Press is cited as the source for this information.
Whittemore is described as an authority on Byzantine art. Two red lines, possibly from editing or marking, appear across the text of the newspaper article — one near the top and one near the bottom.
The overall tone of the clipping is that of an obituary notice, combining the news of an honor received with the suddenness of his passing. The physical artifact suggests it was preserved for archival or personal purposes.
