...property of the late professor has been bequeathed to the college. His books will form part of the library, and the remaining property will be, at his request, called the Constantius fund. This fund is manned after his paternal uncle, Canstantius the Sinaite, and its object is two-fold. Half the income is to be devoted to buying Greek, Latin and Arabic books, bor ooks explaining or illustrating such named books; the other half to go to the catalogue department of the general library.

It seems to us that if the college authorities should provide a good steamheating system, and charge the occupant of each room $25 per year for the benefit of it, they would reap a very large interest on their investment. If they can do nothing this year we hope that...
