The men are standing on a grassy field with trees and buildings in the background. Lower section: Three smaller illustrations show men in 19th-century clothing engaging in social activities. The left illustration shows men sitting at a table and standing around another table; one man appears to be raising his arm. The middle illustration shows a man sitting at a table with a group of people standing around him, one raising their arm. The right illustration shows men sitting and standing in a room with a fireplace; one man reclines on a sofa. The newspaper page has a title at the top that reads "HARPER'S WEEKLY" and has small text below each illustration. The illustrations are attributed to Winslow Homer and titled "The Match between the Sophs and Freshmen."
