This image displays page four of The Harvard Crimson, dated February 4, 1982.
The page is dominated by a large headline: “Benefactors Predict Drop in Support”. The accompanying article discusses concerns among major donors to Harvard University regarding the expansion of the Fogg Art Museum, specifically the planned addition designed by architect I.M. Pei. The donors, including corporations and wealthy individuals, are reported to be reconsidering their future support due to concerns over escalating costs and the physical impact on the existing campus. An aerial photograph is featured above the article, showing the Fogg Museum and its surrounding buildings.
Below the main story, there is a “Future” section with a brief article on a planned summer program in Washington, D.C., funded by the Ford Foundation, and a “Past” section discussing the history of Harvard’s Fine Arts Faculty, including the controversial appointment of art historian Donald M. Kagan.
On the bottom half of the page, there’s a full-page advertisement titled “HARVARD CRIMSON TYPESETTING announces THE PERFECT POSTER”. It advertises a service for designing and typesetting posters (8½" x 11" size) for $25.00, with next-day service and 100 free copies included. It also notes that camera shots and extra copies are available. The contact is Bob Strauss at 495-7890.
In the lower-left corner, there is a small public service announcement titled “A LOT OF THE ABUSES CHILDREN ENDURE ARE EVEN WORSE THAN BROKEN BONES.” It directs readers to the National Center for Child Abuse and Neglect and includes a phone number.
The layout is typical of a newspaper from the early 1980s: columns of dense text, black-and-white photographic reproduction, and straightforward advertising. The paper itself shows signs of aging, with a yellowed tone and a slight crease or fold on the top right corner.
Note: In the context of the date and content, the “Fogg Museum” referenced is now part of the Harvard Art Museums complex — the Fogg Museum, Busch-Reisinger Museum, and Arthur M. Sackler Museum — which underwent major renovation and expansion in 2014. The article reflects early donor resistance that predated that later, ultimately successful, project.
The image is a scanned page from the February 8, 1982, issue of "The Harvard Crimson," a student newspaper at Harvard University.
