THIS work is complete. It is useful as a reference book, and even interesting reading. Harvard has not lately taken great interest in secret fraternities, but the large number of these societies at other colleges must make Mr. Baird's work valuable to them. There are at present, in American colleges, forty-five general fraternities, thirteen local fraternities, and seven ladies' societies. Among the best-known societies, the Alpha Delta Phi has twenty-three chapters, and among its members are Rev. Phillips Brooks, Prof. James Russell Lowell, Rev.

This, however, could be built for about $75,000, and the money for it would naturally come from some one more interested in the Law School than Mr. Hastings was. His gift is to the College; and as an expensive building must be put up, an Art Museum certainly has the strongest claim. Before the new building is begun, it is to be hoped that a definite plan (irrespective of existing buildings, if need be) for the buildings of the Yard may be agreed upon...
