Ample provision for lockers is needed. Two swimming tanks of about 400 square meters each, with numerous dressing-rooms and adjuncts. A large drilling and exercising field in the open air, for athletic games, stands and seats. This athletic ring should be treated in monumental and majestic style. Crus Hovuses.—1.

Professors’ and Officers’ Club House. | RSE EES eee Where the Roots of Scotch Uni- versities Are, [Hamilton W. Mabie in the Outlook,] The roots of the universities are in every village, and in every part of Scot- land the romance of young aspiration is told and retold in the loving frugality of fathers and mothers, in the passionate zeal and eagerness of ardent and ambi- tious boys. For the Scotch university is not the training-ground of the aristoc- racy; it is the broad, open field in which had terrible advantages. the sober-minded, God-fearing democ- racy of Scotland finds its opportunity. No other institutions are more demo- cratic in spirit, more simple in habit, more keenly in touch with the frugal, working life of the people, than the higher schools which have given Scot- land vigorous thinkers, courageous scholars, strenuous preachers, and a long succession of leaders of light and force. “Five and thirty years have I been minister at Drumtochty,” the Doc- tor used to say at school examinations, “and we have never wanted a student at the University, and while Dominie Jamieson lives we never shall.” Where- upon Domsie took snuff, and assigned his share of credit to the Doctor, “who gave the finish in Greek to every lad of them, without money and without price, to make no mention of the higher mathematics. Seven ministers, four schoolmasters, four doctors, one profes- sor, and three civil service men had been sent out by the auld schule in Domsie’s time, besides many that had given them- selves to mercantile pursuits.” And when Domsie, the schoolmaster, gets the news of George Howe's great success, he cannot rest until he has carried it to the little stone house set in the old- fashioned garden. No list of promotions in a gazette ever brought more honest joy and pride than the simple announce- ment in the boy’s letter. Domsie be- comes almost lyrical in his delight: ““First.in the Humanity and first in the Greek, sweepit the field, Lord preserve us. A’ can hardly believe it. Eh, I was feared o’ thae High School lads. They Maisters frae England, and tutors, and whatna, but Drumtochty carried off the croon. It'll be fine reading in the papers: ““Humanity—First Prize (and Medal), George Howe, Drumtochty, Perthshire. “ “GrREEK—First Prize (and Medal), George Howe, Drumtochty, Perthshire. ““As for me, I wadna change places wi the Duke o’ Athole,’ and Domsie shook the table to its foundation.” ee Architecture at Harvard. . [From Speech of President Eliot at Harvard Com mencement Dinner, 1899.] - This week, too, the Corporation re- ceived letters which apprised them that a person whose name is not to be men- tioned has decided to give $200,000 for the furtherance of our department of Architecture, $100,000 for a building, and $100,000 as endowment for the building. This, gentleman, is a unique gift. Never before did we receive a fund for the endowment of a building before we received the building; yet this giver has already paid $100,000 to our Treasurer for the endowment of a building the plans of which are not yet drawn. The Corporation and Board of Overseers must take special pleasure in this sub- ject of endowment,—architecture, earli- est of the fine arts, which contributes more than any other fine art to the pleasure and the comfort of a civilized people. We welcome architecture to our communion. Only five years ago the Corporation with some little hesitation ventured upon the appointment of an assistant professor of Architecture. They have now made him professor, and they look forward to a good develop- ment of that subject. <p>» T= The Course for Yale. [Providence Journal.] The thing to do is to peg away with- out apology or complaint. Yale has not anything like the discouragement to con- ~ tend with that Harvard has overcome. 20th Century Head - Lights OIL--GAS Are the Leading Bicycle Lamps. Yale Men want the BEST.

It will be a surprise for which the admirers of col- lege sport are not yet prepared if Yale does not obtain her full share of athletic glory in the immediate future. Dewey Day at Yale. Four of the U. S. Cruiser Yale’s flags with several smaller flags were hung from the Vanderbilt, Phelps and Shef- field Halls, and on the Miller Memorial — gateway, in observation of Dewey Day | last week. The guns in the Gymnasium were also decorated. The committee in charge of the display was Walter Dunham Makepeace and Nathan Ayer Smyth, classmates of the late Theodore W. Miller.
