STEWART SHILLITO, Treasurer.MR. J. L. STODDARD will deliver a lecture on "Paris" at Lyceum Hall next Monday evening, May 6, at 8 P. M. It is the first of a series of four upon the art, antiquities, and present appearance of some famous European and Oriental cities, the remaining ones being upon "Milan and Venice," "Rome," and "Cairo the Magnificent," on ensuing Mondays. These lectures, which are profusely illustrated by large stereopticon views, are highly spoken of by the press and competent critics. Season tickets $100, and single tickets 30 cents, at Sever's and at A. R. Bayley...
...surprising that Memorial Hall does not furnish more material for effusions in the College papers than is at present utilized. To be sure, the Lampoon prints occasionally disgusting and exaggerated pictures of manners at the Dining Hall, the Advocate inquires once in a while if the omission of Veritas from the western window is intentionally sarcastic, and the Crimson inserts in its columns, when they are not very full, little essays on "Memorial Hall as a Match-box."

...behind the scenes, the sudden organization of this department has given much surprise, but also much pleasure. We look in vain for a course in Chinese and for some other desired courses; but an excellent beginning has been made, and criticism at this stage would be unjust. For the present, many of the courses will be taken by undergraduates chiefly, for hardly enough graduates remain here fully to support the department. How this will be in the future cannot now be foretold; but certainly the organization of this department is a sign of the approaching time when required work...
...entirely completed. The architects did not receive the proposals of contractors for the work until a day or two ago, and Mr. Hemenway must be consulted before any of these proposals can be accepted. If the estimates of the cost of putting up the building, in accordance with the present plan, prove satisfactory, the contractors will begin at once. If, on the other hand, it is found necessary to make decided changes in the design, work will be delayed several weeks. While we are desirous naturally to see the building begun, and while we are disappointed by delays, we cannot...
