A library will be connected with the laboratory and a stone pier will contain aquaria holding anything from microscopic forms to sharks. Expenses will be borne by the government. The plan will probably be working by the summer of 1885. A series of scientific lectures is projected for the lyceum of natural history next term...

Thus Harvard, with the best building in the country, neglects to keep in the forefront of progress in physical culture, and remains stationary, while smaller institutions take advantage of new ideas. The government of Harvard seems to think that a thing once done is done forever, seems...
