The sketch of the plans for the new building of the school, which we present today, has been carefully prepared for the HARVARD HERALD from the plans in the hands of the architect, Mr. Richardson, and will, we hope, afford to our readers a clear idea of the appearance, both inside and out, which the new quarters of the school will present when completed...

We commend an examination of the Nation's articles on this matter to all college men once more...
