Work has begun on the new Radcliffe Library, toward which Andrew Carnegie gave $75,000 on condition that an equal fund be raised. The exterior of the building is to correspond in appearance with the gymnasium, and is to be of about the same size. The architects are Winslow & Bigelow of Boston, and the contractor is J. E.
