Overall Context

The scrapbook page documents two significant cultural events at Harvard in June 1976: the opening of a major exhibition on the American Revolution ("Harvard Divided") and the hiring of a prominent art historian, Jean Sutherland Boggs, to join the faculty. The items are preserved together, suggesting they were of interest to the person who assembled this scrapbook — perhaps someone involved in the arts, academia, or Harvard University itself. The folder appears to have been prepared for archival or personal reference, with holes punched on the right side presumably for insertion into a binder.

The image appears to be a scanned page from the Harvard Gazette, dated June 11, 1976, and June 25, 1976. It consists of two main sections:

1. Top Section (June 11, 1976):

   • It features an illustration or photograph of two men in period attire, seemingly engaged in a fencing duel. The men are wearing hats and garments typical of a historical era, possibly the 18th century. The background shows an ornate interior, possibly a room in a mansion or a museum, with intricate wood paneling and decorative details.
   • The text beneath the illustration provides information about an exhibition titled "Harvard Divided," which is part of the Fogg's third and final Bicentennial exhibition. The show, which runs from June 11 to October 10, 1976, examines the political and social upheaval associated with the American Revolution in Boston, Cambridge, and the College. It mentions the involvement of Linda Ayres, Assistant to the Director of the Fogg, and details about the exhibition's content, including its origins from Harvard collections, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, the Massachusetts Historical Society, and other collections. The exhibition is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts. The illustration itself is titled "Thomas Hollis Fencing with Mr. Martin by John Green (oil on canvas; lent by Houghton Library)."

2. Bottom Section (June 25, 1976):
