Pre-Revolutionary Harvard

In recognition of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the burning of Harvard Hall, the Harvard Memorial Society has printed one hundred and fifty numbered copies of the old Burges view of the Hall, first issued in 1726 and entitled "Prospect of the Colleges in Cambridge in New England."

This is the earliest view of Harvard College in existence and the only representation of the old Harvard Hall built in 1672-82 and burned in 1764. Only one copy of the original engraving is known, that belonging to the Massachusetts Historical Society.

Copies of this historic print will be put on sale this week at the Co-operative, price fifty cents, or may be obtained by mail, price sixty cents, postpaid, from C. H. Crombie, Thayer 39.
