...University. The leading contribution is an interesting account by Mr. Henry F. Waters '55, the eminent genealogist and antiquarian, of his invaluable discovery of the facts concerning John Harvard's birth and antecedents.

The identity of Harvard's father, Robert Harvard, and of his mother, Katherine Rogers, has been established...

These receipts will be added to the fund of $75,000, which is being raised to secure Mr. Carnegie's offer of $75,000 for the new library building. Of this fund over $49,000 has been raised...
...scheme in its entirety Professor Hanus estimates that an endowment of about $2,000,000, which would yield an annual income of about $80,000, is necessary in order to carry on the work of administration and instruction. With this sum, professorships of the teaching of history, mathematics, languages, etc., as well as course for the training of supervisors of fine arts, physical training etc., could be established. Of course a beginning could be made toward the realization of the plan its a much smaller sums were available, so that addition may gradually be made...
