The image shows a newspaper clipping dated December 9, 1992, from the Harvard Crimson, Harvard University's student newspaper. The headline reads, "False Alarms Sound at Three Harvard Buildings."

The article, written by Cindy A. Berman, details incidents of false fire alarms that occurred in three Harvard buildings: Fogg Museum, Claverly Hall, and Peabody Terrace. The false alarms were attributed to a section in the water pressure system related to the ongoing construction of Sever Hall. Specifically, the drop in water pressure when the main building of Sever Hall was turned off triggered the alarms.

David E. Brown, Harvard's Fire Protection Engineer, explained that the sprinkler systems in these buildings were sensitive to changes in water pressure, leading to the false alarms. He mentioned that while these issues were infrequent, the recent occurrences highlighted a need to address the problem, particularly with ongoing construction potentially causing more disruptions.

Additionally, the article mentions that similar water pressure problems had previously affected other buildings, such as the Holyoke Center, due to the activation of new smoke detectors.

The newspaper page also includes other unrelated articles and images, such as an advertisement and a section labeled "Exhibits." The date stamp on the left side indicates this was printed on December 28, 1992.
