...Tuesday evening some person or persons unknown placed a bomb in one of the windows of University Hall, and exploded it. The window frame was literally blown to pieces, the woodwork of the room was greatly injured, and dozens of panes of glass were broken. That the perpetrators of this act were not students is possible; but it is hard to believe that any one who could not claim the popular indemnity that connection with a college gives to petty malefactors would have ventured to expose himself to the risk of detection. In all probability this explosion was contrived...
...temporary framework which surrounds the new window in Memorial Hall gave way last Tuesday night and precipitated the window into the gallery, injuring it so badly that it had to be sent to Boston for repairs...
...window which has lately been placed in Memorial Hall is another sample of American work, and shows what a state of perfection the art of making stained-glass windows has attained in Boston alone.

This central or figure portion of the window represents the Chevalier Bayard standing...
...intended to have a decorative border of appropriate design surround this figure portion, and the ventilator underneath is to be filled with a representation of the helmet and arms of the Chevalier. On the acceptance of this window by the Class of 1844, work will probably be commenced on the other half of the window, which, when completed, is to contain a corresponding figure of Columbus. After the ice has thus been once broken and a window fairly erected, it is to be hoped that other classes, beholding the beauty thereof, will copy the good example thus set before them...
