Description:
Photograph of Mertie West standing on a street corner across the street from Harvard Yard. A brick-paved sidewalk spans the width of the bottom edge, curving across the lower left corner.

Students at Harvard University stroll along a campus walkway, Cambridge, 1947

Description:
An out-of-focus and poorly-lit photograph of students walking along a campus walkway at Harvard University. A wide walkway enters frame from the lower left corner and stretches back on an angle towards the right. In the near distance at center, 4 young men, dressed in suits and ties, walk in a row towards the camera. To the right of them, a few other students walk past them. At far right and partially obscured by shadow, steps leading up to a building enter frame. Narrower walkways crisscross the treed campus grounds in the background at left and center. Jagged streaks of white occupy the upper right corner and just below the upper left corner. A light haze glazes over the entirety of the image.

Description:
Photograph of H. H. West standing beside the statue of John Harvard in Harvard Yard. A walkway stretches along the bottom edge. In the near distance, H. H. West stands, left-of-center.
