...undertaken by the University alone, a commission was organized composed of the following institutions: Harvard University, Boston University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Simmons College, Tufts College, Wellesley College, Boston College, Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The officers of this commission will, in co-operation, offer a carefully prepared general scheme of courses taking as a nucleus those now being given at the Lowell Institute and at the Summer School. The courses will be given primarily for teachers or other persons engaged in advanced work, but will be conducted in so far as possible like the parallel ones which are given...
...question of the allotment of the Senior dormitories has been the cause of much discussion among the members of the Junior class and the proposed plan has met with some opposition. The officers of the class have devised a scheme by means of which men wishing to room in the Senior dormitories may apply in groups of 14, this number being just sufficient to fill an entry.

The men who have formulated this plan realize, however, that it is not possible for the entire class to break...

Twenty facsimile reproductions of Flemish and Dutch paintings, from the van Eycks to the elder Breughel have been given by Mr. H. W. Putnam. These reproductions are in the size of the originals and are strikingly like them in color scheme.

Among them are such masterpieces as Hubert van Eyck's "Madonna in a Church," Jan van Eyck's Triptych of the "Madonna with St. Michael and St. Katherine," Rogier van der Weyden's "young Patrician Lady," and Quenten Metsys's "Mary...
...firmly established that residence in the same entry is not enough to break down the barriers of reserve established by several years of non-acquaintance. That these conditions will be much changed by allotment by entries or in large groups, is not evident. The merit of the scheme seems to be altogether in making the Senior dormitories more pleasant for their occupants, and so making the dormitories more generally popular...
