...Warren is head of the architectural firm of Warren and Wetmore which designed the new memorial. He has been actively interested in the restoration of the Library since its old home, the historic Cloth Hall, was destroyed by the Germans on August 25, 1914. At that time he joined with several other leaders in Europe in asserting that the building should eventually be restored by the civilized nations of the world as a gesture of protest against such barbarism.

A notable feature is that all accompaniments will be simple and will carry the melody...
...Beware of the swindler" is another warning. Occasionally some "good fellow" goes the rounds, selling "imported" cloth, encyclopedias, or sundry other articles, and incidentally trying to draw students into gambling games. In the past such persons have usually succeeded in getting out of Cambridge before the police have discovered their presence; if notified at once, the authorities could arrest the swindlers and punish them under...
