For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Cambridge Mudstone Subject The topic of the resource The humble Cambridge mudstone... At first glance, there is nothing shiny, special, or eye-catching about the rock. No, its color doesn’t beg for your attention like a brick might, nor does a specialist need to birth it like glass or ceramic requires. But if one ignores this seemingly dull appearance to recognize its importance in the early architecture of Harvard Yard, it is obvious that Cambridge mudstone has earned a title in the hall of fame of building material. Though Cambridge mudstone is the colloquial name, geologists know it better argillite. This is a sedimentary rock that forms when enough pressure is applied to its parent rock of mudstone or shale (USGS). Cambridge’s argillite formed millions of years ago as sands, silts, and clays settled to the bottom of the ocean floor to be solidified into the rock we know today, and it consequently forms one part of the Boston Bay geologic group (Holton and Newman 2006). In other words, argillite or Cambridge mudstone is just one type of rock that comprises the greater Boston area. Thankfully, Cambridge isn’t underwater anymore, and its geology was exploited by all its inhabitants. While bricks and rooftiles are common architectural materials observable from the exterior of buildings, Cambridge mudstone played a crucial role in the interior of Harvard’s first building- the Old College constructed in 1638; this stone was used as construction material for the foundation of the Old College and was vital for its structural integrity. Unfortunately, its use did not help the longevity of the building as the Old College began to disintegrate just three years later and it was eventually the university abandoned its carcass for it to return to the earth (Stubbs 1992). Subsequent buildings lacked Cambridge mudstone and instead used clay underpinnings. Thankfully, the hearty and sturdy nature of rocks means that Cambridge mudstone can be enjoyed to this day, even if we know not to use it as foundational material!

Title A name given to the resource Carter's Ink Bottle Fragment Subject The topic of the resource In our current digital age, it is often easy to forget that there was once a time when and all written materials required ink to bring them to life on paper. That was the world in which Harvard students lived in during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when this ink bottle was manufactured. Harvard students’ demand for papers and inks would have been extremely high, despite the school's reputation as “ ‘the hardest college to get into and the easiest to stay in’.“ (Morison 1935, 369) Towards the end of the 19th century, Harvard underwent a remarkably rapid expansion under the leadership of President Eliot, which would have caused significant rise in materials for academics demanded by the school, including ink (Morison 1935, 373). With a near unquenchable thirst for inks with which to write, how would Harvard students and faculty fulfill their needs? It just so happened, however, that the self-proclaimed world’s largest ink manufacturer lay just a stone’s throw away at what is now 245 First St. in Cambridge, having just moved from Boston due to a need for expansion. (Faulkner 2003, 42). Carter’s ink produced a wide variety of ink products, ranging from small fountain pen inkwells to the larger cylindrical master ink bottle that is displayed here. Ink was never used straight out of master bottles, as it was transferred to smaller, more convenient inkwells first. These bulk bottles would have been ubiquitous around Harvard, and would have been used by both students and faculty to refill their inkwells.

The following narrative connects the wider societal changes at the time with educational reform at Harvard in the latter half of the 19th Century. William E. Byerly walked through Harvard Yard in the spring of 1873, still marveling at how different everything looked from when he first entered the college in 1867. Eliot had completely changed the Yard in the few years he’d been president. Thayer, Matthews, and Weld had all sprung up in the last two years. Some alumni grumbled that they hardly knew the place, but Byerly could hardly be upset. He would be the first beneficiary of the new PhD program. In the summer, if all went well, he would graduate with a doctorate in Mathematics. He already had a teaching position at Cornell lined up, but already he could tell he would miss this school. He stumbled for a moment on a stone in the path, and the books in his arm slid against his cuff. The button popped off and fell into the grass. It was a small, white button, made with dust-pressing. He didn’t even bother to stoop and pick it up. Buttons these days were cheap. He could easily get a replacement for a few pennies. Factories in England and France were churning these out in the hundreds every fifteen minutes and exporting them across the sea. The world was changing. New inventions were exploding in the patent offices. Even Harvard was changing faster than anyone had believed possible. 19 button ceramic Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
