At present the largest room in Boylston is occupied by a collection of mineralogical specimens, one of the most valuable in the country, representing a large pecuniary value added to the labor of a life time. The remedy which Professor Cooke proposes is to have an addition built to the Agassiz Museum for the accommodation of this collection, and then to have the room which it now occupies in Boylston, fitted over for a lecture room for Chemistry A. The plan...
