...which has endeared Gray's "Elegy" to the world. At the left of the picture is a separate scrap showing the sunny vine- covered side of Massachusetts Hall. "Cambridge on the Charles" is a wide view across the river marshes of the trees and spires of the town. The stream winds on unrippled in the sun and the drowsy shade is massed densely in the distance, while the square shoulders of Memorial Hall push up into the sky on the right. Low in the middle distance is the cupola of Hemenway Gymnasinm, and further on a slender spire...
