From the lengthening shadow cast by the huge new Chemistry Laboratory as it nears completion come the pleas of the kindred departments of Zoology, Botany, and Physiology where the equipment and building are quite as inadequate as the facilities in Boylston Hall. In a letter in the current Alumni Bulletin Dr. Parker acknowledges that the recent reports of conditions in the Department of Biology have not been overdrawn, and describes the efforts that are being made to remedy the situation. The Departments of Zoology and Botany, he reports, have increased ten-fold in sizee, both in the number of students...

First glance reveals no striking difference from myriad other stores; glance two does. A placard reads: "Nothing in this store over 5 & 10 cents." There are other wall slogans: "Ordinarily we dislike seeing folks get in a Pickle but let us help you. There is no gamble about our Diced carrots." A lone cashier, for a dime, will dispense eggs by threes, bacon in strips of six, butter in quarters of a pound, anchovy paste, or vegetal buds...
