March 1923 issue of The Crisis marked up for the Harvard University President's Office

A marked copy of "The Crisis" Page 199 bears a pair of manicule stamps pointing to W. E. B. Du Bois' editorial rebuking Harvard University President A. Lawrence Lowell for segregating freshman dormitories. Page 218 is unmarked, but a section is entitled "Harvard and the Negro." Additional markings include a stamp and pencil combination that reads "Harvard College Library from the President's Office, Mar. 21 ,1923" which appears above the caption. "Marked copy" is stamped on the cover and "pp. 199 & 218" is penciled on cover. It is unclear who made the markings or how the journal was acquired by the President's Office. From the acquisition stamp in the library, we know that it was quickly transferred from the President's Office to the library.
