SURELY Harvard would nowadays lift up its aristocratic hands in holy horror at the idea of such a thing as a lottery. It may, however, be interesting to those whose eyes gloat fondly on the announcement of bequests and donations to their Alma Mater, to see what measures were taken to raise money at a time when the College finances were not by any means in their present prosperous condition...
...chief obstacle to this plan is the expense of providing books for the alcoves. It would not do to have these books taken out, for this would hinder the very purpose for which the alcoves were fitted up; nor would it do to fill the alcoves with the books already in the Library, for this would hinder our present chance to take out books.

Furthermore...

Under the conditions of the bequest of Mrs. Sever the executors of her will may defer payment for one year, and circumstances have rendered it probable that such action will be taken; although it is hoped that some arrangement may be made whereby the College may come at once into the possession of the property. The new hall will stand probably on a line with Boylston, and will occupy the place once set apart for the much-dreamed-of Wakefield Hall...
