This image displays two clipped newspaper articles mounted on a beige, hole-punched scrapbook page, suggesting a personal collection or archival record.

Top Article: “MEDLEY” by Bill Fripp (Boston Globe, 5/17)

This is a society column titled “MEDLEY” by Bill Fripp, likely from the Boston Globe as handwritten below, dated 5/17 (presumably May 17, 1977). It lists several social items:

• Return of the prince
• A tradition of beauty
• Posh art auction
• Flowers for Shirley T.
• A 5th Avenue retreat
• Too many parties?
• Beer for the maestro

Beside the list are two small, black-and-white portrait photos:

• Stewart: A young woman with dark, shoulder-length hair.
• Khan: A smiling young man with dark, neatly combed hair.

A handwritten note below reads: “Boston Globe 5/17 He was not at ball. Item inaccurate.” This note critiques the accuracy of the accompanying text.

The article text to the right discusses “The Fogg Museum’s glossy 50th anniversary ball” and is graced by the presence of “the Aga Khan IV and the Princess.” It details his return to Harvard since graduation in 1959, his $50,000 scholarship gift, his role as spiritual leader to 20 million Ismaili Moslems, and his Jet Set resort in Sardinia. It notes his Harvard days as a soccer player and straight-A student, clarifying he has no relation to Pakistan’s Harvard Club squash ace Moe Khan or his brother Gul Khan, the squash pro at the University Club.

Bottom Article: Harvard Gazette, May 27, 1977, Page 4

This is a black-and-white photograph from the Harvard Gazette, dated May 27, 1977. It shows three men at what appears to be a formal or semi-formal indoor event.

• The man on the left is older, wearing a light-colored striped suit jacket and tie, and has a pipe in his mouth.
• The man in the center is smiling, slightly shorter, in a dark suit with a vest.
• The man on the right is wearing glasses, a patterned suit jacket, a dark tie, and a name tag. He is holding a folder or award under his arm.

The caption identifies them: “Among the 94 persons honored last Thursday for 25 years’ service to the University was Fogg Photographer Michael Nedrewski (right), who was accompanied to the Pound Building ceremonies by Fogg Director Seymour Slive (left) and Professor Sydney Freedberg (Fine Arts, center).”

Summary:

The page documents two distinct social moments from May 1977 connected to Harvard University. The top clipping covers a high-society event involving the Aga Khan IV at the Fogg Museum’s anniversary ball — which the collector later annotated as factually inaccurate. The bottom clipping commemorates long-service award recipients at the Fogg Museum, highlighting photographer Michael Nedrewski alongside two prominent Harvard figures, Seymour Slive and Sydney Freedberg. Together, the clippings reflect a collector’s interest in Harvard social and academic life, with a critical eye toward media accuracy.
