This image shows a single, aged page from a scrapbook or press clippings file, dated primarily from March 1955, with one prominent clipping from April 4, 1955.

The page has a yellowed, slightly browned paper background, indicating its age. Multiple newspaper clippings are glued onto it, each with some overlapping and visible glue stains or adhesive residue.

At the top, there are four rectangular clippings, all dated Mar 21 1955. These are headlined with the names of New England newspapers: the Worcester Gazette (e), New York Times (m), Herald Tribune, and Berkshire Eagle (e), along with their circulation figures. All four contain essentially the same article under the headline “Named Professor” or “Harvard Promotes Two.” The text reports on the promotion of John P. Coolidge and Charles L. Kuhn, directors of Harvard University’s two art museums (the Fogg Art Museum and the Busch-Reisinger Museum of Germanic Culture), to full professorships.

In the center of the page is a much larger, rectangular clipping on white paper. It features the logo and masthead for “France-Amérique”, subtitled “LE JOURNAL FRANÇAIS DES ÉTATS-UNIS” (The French Journal of the United States). Below the masthead, it lists its address: 127 East 81st Street, New York 28, N.Y., and telephone number Tel. Regent 7-4450. The date APR 4 1955 is stamped in blue ink in the top right corner. The central portion of this clipping has a faded, blank rectangular area, likely where a photograph or illustration was once pasted but has since been removed or has disintegrated.

At the bottom left, there is a smaller, black-bordered clipping, also dated around March 21, 1955, headed with the word “BOSTON”. This clipping is in French and appears to describe an exhibition event at the Musée de Boston involving the director of the Fogg Museum, John Coolidge.

Kuhn at Harvard in March 1955, with additional coverage from the French-American press in April.
