Professor Richards, it can truly be said, gave his life to the advance of science. His revolutionary discoveries were only the reward of the Herculean efforts which he did not spare himself. Among the more important monuments of his labours, and one by no means of the least significant to Harvard, is the chemistry laboratory rising on Oxford Street, in which he took a great interest. Inasmuch as his example served as an inspiration to his followers in the field of science, nothing could be more fitting than for a memorial to be placed within the walls...
...greatly regret that my brief statement of the purposes of the new field should have been accompanied by headlines and preamble which were contrary to fact, and by an editorial which was, to say the least, misleading. Very truly yours, Ralph Barton Perry...

But it is at least consoltion to him to be assured that others have struggled feebly to enjoy life and yet withstand the cost of living, in past centuries. It must be therefore in a sympathetic frame of mind that Professor Usher will lecture on "The Rise in Prices 1500 to 1700" in Widener U at 12 o'clock today...
