...late Dr. Calvin Ellis, formerly dean of the Medical School has left a large sum of money to his sister which will revert to the college when she dies...
...which sufficient accommodations were provided for all the students then here. With the advent of Sever Hall, its importance as furnishing examination rooms was very much diminished, and as it stands now it is practically unused. The question we should like to propose is, why should it not revert to its old uses as a dormitory? The upper stories could readily be fitted up again into rooms that would certainly be on a par with the rooms in Hollis and Stoughton, that are now in such active demand.

But in case the Archaeological School should fail to be a success, or should for any reason pass out of existence in course of time, the money will revert to the original subscribers. In the case of Harvard it is to found a Sophocles scholarship, to be awarded to the man who passes the best examination on the plays of Sophocles. Thus, in any event, there will be what it is so desirable that there should be, - a permanent...
