Princeton University has had two units of installation allotted to it at the Paris Exposition and the disposal of the exhibit has almost been settled. One set of wing frames will be devoted to charts showing Princeton's historical and educational growth, and upon the other set will be mounted thirty-four photographs of the buildings and grounds, accompanied by English, French and German inscriptions showing the place of each in the college life. The book shelves below the cases will contain catalogues for many years past as well as sample volumes of several of the university periodicals...

There are about eighty Italian poems written just after the battle of Lepanto in 1570 in celebration of the Christian victory, many of which are probably unique and therefore of considerable value.
