Title A name given to the resource Porcelain sherd Subject The topic of the resource Sitting elegantly on a wealthy Bostonian’s sideboard, a porcelain lidded container acts as a physical embodiment of wealth and status. Accompanying the container is a collection of porcelain tableware reserved for special occasions. The cupboard, located in the kitchen where guests are entertained, is the stage upon which wealth is displayed for those lucky enough to visit such a high-class estate. Inside of the expensive, foreign-made box is a collection of personal items such as a double-toothed comb, a signet ring, and a handful of silver coins. A container of this sort made a long voyage from China in the 19th century, partly explaining its steep cost and rarity in early colonial New England. Trade networks contributed most of the early ceramics to the area, the Chinese trade network being one of less attainable and therefore higher-valued networks. Puritan values in colonial New England first emphasized simplicity and plainness. Extravagant displays of wealth were not looked favorably upon. However, over time this perspective loosened and outward signs of wealth became more acceptable in society. Having both a practical purpose for storing items and a social purpose of representing the owner’s wealth, the Chinese porcelain container remains a rare and exciting find. In Harvard Yard, a porcelain sherd reveals the range of wealth of those at the Old College. Description An account of the resource Blue and white, flat, triangular piece of Chinese porcelain.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Present in Both Vermeer's Dutch Republic and Chauncy's Harvard: The Intercontinental Trade of Rhenish Stonewares Subject The topic of the resource This grouping of six blue on grey stoneware sherds illustrates both the extent of the European ceramic trade and the foodways of colonists in the seventeenth century. Since the sherds cross-mend and two of them have ribbed edges, this collection may have once been part of a jug or tankard. This jug would have been a gorgeous example of Rhenish stoneware from the Westerwald region of Germany. Westerwald was one of the centers of European stoneware production throughout the seventeenth century and ceramics produced there were exported throughout the rest of Europe and the English colonies. Due to the fragile nature of ceramics, it is unlikely that the early colonists brought over many with them. American production of stonewares did not really take off until the early eighteenth century, so the first few generations of colonists depended on Atlantic trade with England and the rest of Europe for their ceramic needs. It is also interesting to note the forms of ceramics present in archaeological excavations. In seventeenth century sites, such as the Old College Building, there were very few, if any, plates. Meals were taken on wooden trenchers, which were shared by two to three “trencher mates.” Ceramics were typically used either to consume or store liquids. Storage forms were eventually standardized and often had numbers incised into them to demarcate the quantity of liquid they could hold. This jug may have once held a wide variety of liquids, ranging from the beer that accompanied the students’ morning bever (light breakfast) to the wine that students drank surreptitiously in their quarters after hours.

"Bakken Trencher Dough Bowl." https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdx/world-menagerie-bakken-trencher-dough-bowl-w001200567.html/ - This modern-day trencher resembles the trenchers that Harvard students would have eaten off of in the 17th Century. Due to their construction, few, if any, trenchers have survived since the 17th century. The absence of plates in the archaeological record, however, makes it clear that trenchers were used for food consumption, instead of plates.

Title A name given to the resource Printing at 19th Century Harvard: A Vignette Subject The topic of the resource 16 October 1889 George stumbled, and caught himself—and his freight. President Eliot had consolidated printing in the basement of the University Hall (Hall 10). A new print shop needed a press, and a press needed type. The type had to be moved from its previous location. So—here was George, stumbling between the elms on his way from Wadsworth to University Hall, two hundred yards northeast (Hall 9). Box after box of type had to be transported carefully—the small lead type could escape the loose joinery of the wooden box. The job fell to George—and three co-conspirators—thanks to some inadmissible revelry at the Dartmouth game the weekend prior (1889). Normally, President Eliot would have let the delinquency slide—he encouraged the boys’ “llllllliberty,” rolling the “l” in Brahmin accent—but they timed their stunt to be of perfect help to the University (Kuehnemann). George minded, however, his afternoon being stripped from him. He was going to smoke with his roommate, and now that looked unlikely. His written Greek examination was tomorrow, too—though only a passing thought. He’d already seen it, anyway, thanks to the service of the college printer (Schoenberg). He was prepared. It was this thought, though, that caused the trip, stagger, and balancing of the type. Catching himself, he turned to check for fallen pieces. But then, they were holding the door ahead, and George really just wanted to regain his rightful “lllllllliberty.” He turned back and strode towards the grey façade of University Hall.

Title A name given to the resource Probable Window Hook Subject The topic of the resource Kellogg Fairbank looked at the large panes of his Federal-style window in Holworthy. The building opened in 1812 and had housed many about-to-be-graduates such as himself. He unlatched the window by sliding out the hook and pushed it up to look out at the Yard. He saw the steeple of Memorial Church where he would soon gather with his classmates to begin their Class of 1890 Class Day Exercises. He also saw two of his classmates walking north across the Yard. His friends, Clement Morgan and W.E.B. Du Bois, were not permitted to live on campus due to the color of their skin. Fairbank hated the system, but for the first time in Harvard’s History, an African-American man would be giving an oration. Fairbank was set to give one and Morgan would give the other. Du Bois was also set to make history with his acceptance into a doctoral degree program. Fairbank waved to them, pushed the window down, slid the hook in, and went out to join his friends. This window into the past shows several firsts for African-Americans at Harvard, but compared to other schools at the time, Harvard was not even close to being a leader in integration. Dartmouth graduated its first African-American student in 1828, long before Harvard’s first African-American college student graduated in 1870. African-Americans faced much adversity in higher education, though the explosion of Black colleges and universities in the second half of the 19th century helped to secure education for more African-Americans. Today, while Harvard is viewed by many as a diverse community, there are still movements by students surrounding issues of race such as the “I, Too, Am Harvard” campaign.
