Harvard has long had a fine chemical equipment, but lately it has been hampered by a lack of space. Boylston Hall was erected in 1857 with a fund bequeathed by Ward Nicholas Boylston. At present two rooms on the first floor are used for research in physical chemistry. The Wolcott Gibbs Laboratory will be unique in this country, and in fact will be the foremost institution of its kind in the world. The proposed group of buildings, which will cost a million dollars, would give the University an unrivaled place in the field of chemical science...

The purpose of the fellowship is to aid persons who have already done dramatic writing of promise but who need some technical training in order to gain the desired results...
...Boston Opera should materialize is of course a matter of detail that would have to be worked out by a committee of prominent graduates, members of the Faculty, and undergraduates. It would seem as though the result might be worked out along the lines of a Harvard fund, the income of which should go to the support of the Opera, together with a musical association within the University which men might join at a comparatively trifling cost which would give them the privilege of attending the Opera on certain nights on a season ticket--a sort of a musical...
