This image displays a page from The Harvard Crimson newspaper, specifically Page Fourteen of the 1973 Registration Issue. The page is affixed to a slightly larger, plain brown cardstock or folder, which has three punch holes along its right edge, suggesting it was stored in a binder.

At the top right corner of the page, there is a small, rectangular, black-and-white sticker or label. It reads “PRINTS” in large, bold capital letters. Below this, it says “CRIMSON - REGISTRATION '73” and “P. 2”, indicating this article was also referenced or printed on page 2 of the registration issue. The label has a modernist graphic design with diagonal black stripes.

The main article on the page is titled:

“Corporation Picks Harvard-Radcliffe Arts Coordinator”

It is written By EMILY WHEELER.

The article announces the appointment of Myra A. Mayman, former acting director of Bryn Mawr admissions, as the first coordinator of the arts for Harvard and Radcliffe. It details that her position was created based on a recommendation from President Bok’s committee (headed by James S. Ackerman), which investigated the status of the arts at Harvard. Mayman’s role will focus on extracurricular arts, oversee budgets and staff for Radcliffe’s programs in dance and poetry, and establish a central information source for students. She also plans to inventory arts facilities across campus and increase outreach to artists in the greater Boston area.

Accompanying the article is a large, black-and-white reproduction of a print—likely a charcoal or ink drawing—depicting a nude woman seated in a heavily ornamented, classical-style armchair. The figure is posed with one leg crossed over the other, one hand resting on her thigh, and the other on the arm of the chair. Her head is turned slightly away from the viewer.

Beneath the print, a caption reads:

“If your House superintendent has run out of empire sofas, take a peek at the wares for rent at the Busch-Reisinger Museum. The 270 framed prints on display daily until September 29 can be leased for modest sums ranging from $5 to $25. Undergrad, grad students and Corporation appointees are all eligible to have one of the 270 hangings.”

This caption connects the artwork to a rental program at the Busch-Reisinger Museum, offering students and staff an affordable way to decorate their rooms with art. The juxtaposition of the serious administrative news with the evocative, sensual art print and playful rental caption creates a distinctive, culturally rich snapshot of student life and university administration at Harvard-Radcliffe in 1973.
