Mertie West stands on a street corner outside Harvard University, Cambridge, 1947

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. Mertie West stands at center, just at the back edge of the sidewalk; she looks to camera. Behind and to the left of her, a woman beside the left edge steps onto the sidewalk. In the near distance, Massachusetts Avenue stretches across the image. Several cars drive along it. Harvard Yard stretches along the far side of Massachusetts Avenue. Massachusetts Hall stands at center, behind Mertie. The Georgian-style building is viewed at a slight angle from its short side. Beside it, Straus Hall enters frame from the right. Straus Hall is viewed from its long side. Both buildings are draped in ivy.

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.

H. H. West poses beside the statue of John Harvard in Harvard Yard, Cambridge, 1947

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. He faces the camera as he raises up an arm and rests it atop the base of the statue. The bronze statue of a seated John Harvard is viewed at a slight angle from the front. It stands at center, to the right of H. H. A bronze seal is inset to the right side of the plinth. An inscription across the front of the plinth reads, "JOHN HARVARD FOUNDER 1638." University Hall (partial view) is viewed close-up as it stretches across the background on an angle. Striped awnings hang over the second-floor windows and ivy crawls across most of the building.
