...gymnasium. One alumnae recently pledged $5,080 for improvements in the opportunities for physical culture at Vassar, on condition that $15,000 more should be raised by alumnae. The association is vigorously at work on the task. The first of the Boston readings was given by Dr. Holmes, Dr. Hale and Col. Higginson. The second of the series occurs next Tuesday at the Hawthorne Rooms, and is to be given by Louise Chandler Moulton, Louise Imogen Guiney and Mr. Arlo Bates. The arrangements are in charge of Miss Hersey of Chestnut street and Miss Howe of Cambridge...

...special meeting of the board of overseers was held this morning at No. 70 Water street, the Hon. E. R. Hoar, presiding. Messrs. Lyman, Russell and Hale were appointed to consider what action the board should take, in view of the recent death of Mr. Francis E. Parker and Mr. Henry P. Kidder.
