This image displays a yellowed, aged newspaper clipping from The Boston Herald, dated Saturday, March 29, 1958. It is laid open inside or on top of a green-bound book or scrapbook, with the right page slightly curled upwards at the top and a tear visible near the bottom.

The newspaper page features a prominent headline:

“Harvard Day Marks Great Drive for College Aid”

Below the headline is a black-and-white photograph showing three men at a table, seemingly at a registration or reception desk. The photo is captioned:

“‘HARVARD’S DAY’ REUNIONS — At registration desk in Memorial Hall, Miss Miriam E. Harnet of Arlington checks in Daniel Simonds, left, of Chestnut Hill and George E. Lane of Brewster. 2500 alumni and guests returned for the program highlighted by a nationwide radio broadcast ‘in fund campaign.’”

“600 Harvard Alumni Attend College Drive”

The article includes several other sub-headings such as:

• “Longer Life Span at Hand”
• “Cities Tell-Puppets”
• “Mock Auction”
