Once more a very unusual opportunity is to be afforded the residents of Boston and vicinity to see a portion of the valuable collection of Illuminated Manuscripts belonging to J. Pierpont Morgan. About twenty-five of these manuscripts will be on exhibition at the Fogg Art Museum of the University from March 16 Until April 16. Some of the manuscripts were shown at the Museum in 1918. Many of them have not been exhibited here before. The exhibition includes fine examples of French, English, Italian, Flemish, German, Greek, Armenian, Dutch and Spanish Work...

When University Hall was built by the distinguished architect, Bulfinch, in 1826, provision was made for a chapel in the upper floor of that building, the portion now used for the Faculty Room. This was used until Appleton Chapel was built...
Irving Berlin has written two exceedingly catchy tunes, which have preceded the show to Boston by some time. "Girls of My Dreams" and "Tell Me, Little Gypsy", are familiar enough, and receive a large portion of the applause. Victor Herbert has added "The Love Boat," while Art Hickman's "Hold Me" is the only other song of consequence. One novelty that was introduced consists of a brilliant theatre audience facing the real spectators, in which the actions of an orchestra crowd during the intermission are travestied
