...contemplate any very expensive system of buildings. It is supposed that the city of Cleveland, where it is founded-already a great centre in education-can, of course, provide for the homes of most of the students. For the college building Mr. Wade has provided an admirable site, separated only by Euclid avenue from the great buildings of the Case Institute of Applied Science. Science and philosophy-if we may use these words-have thus the opportunity to do their best in sight of each other. As soon as the endowment of $500,000 is complete, the college...

In view of the fact that there are over eighty men in college who are graduates of the school, it would seem that the younger men ought to be well represented at the dinner, though the tendeney has been...
...John S. Damrell, Boston's inspector of buildings, upon the causes of the accident at the Harvard boat-house, is as follows : L. E. Sexton, President of the Harvard University Boat Club-Dear Sir : In response to your letter under date of Nov. 12,1883, I visited the site of the Harvard University Boat Club house in Cambridge, Mass., and examined building and platforms on the west or water side of same, with a view of ascertaining the cause of accident Oct. 20, 1883.
