President Eliot, in his recent report, complains of the absence of a comfortable reading-room and of safe means of lighting the present reading-room artificially. The need of such a reading room- spacious, well ventilated, well lighted, and open up to 10 p. m.- he says, is very urgent, and the best plan is to build a large room at the north-east corner of Weld Hall, at a very short distance from Gore Hall, so as not to darken the delivery room and the present reading-room, which is to be converted into a large stack, able...

The spacious banquet room of the Buffalo Club was brilliantly lighted and tastefully decorated. Potted plants were upon the table, and these were garnished with crimson ribbons in honor of the occasion. Quite an elaborate menu was presented, its promise being realized in a most appetizing repast...

Soon after three o'clock...
Another pleasant walk is up Brattle street. This takes us past the old Lowell estate, which is on our left, an old house, painted of course, yellow and white, set back a considerable distance from the street, and surrounded by very spacious grounds, which contain a fine grove of tall trees, and are themselves surrounded by an almost inhospitably tall fence. Next we come to Mt. Auburn cemetery, which is of course interesting, so to speak, exofficio, and also because it contains a moderately high tower, which is itself considerably elevated. From this we may get a very good...
