The Grandest coiiage Hall in ,he world

From Every Saturday.
President Eliot is not generally regarded as
a braggart. and whom in his annual report TO
the overseers OF Harvard College, he spoke of
the great dining hall, now nearly completed, in
connection with Memorial Hal in these words
" 1t is by tar the graudest college hall in the
world, and there are very few rooms for secular
purposes in existence which can be compared
with it" people were disposed to lift their eye
brows little, and 10 feel uncomfortable at the
thought of the peacock taking possession OF the
university There are few public halls abroad,
especially in England, that move men edu.
Gated In our American colleges so much as the
great colleges halls, ike those OF Oxford 2nd
Cam bridge. Mem oral Hall and the more ex.
tensiye Dining Eau, which with the theatte
planned but not built, form the great building
erected by the aunl of Harvard in commemo
ration OF the noble dad, Will appeal in tue
matter of dimensions, President Eliot IS as
surediy right. Christ Church II all at Oxford is
| lis feet by 10 aud 30 in height Queens Col
| !ege Hall measures 30 feet by %. In Cambridge
| ST. Johns College Hall is also GO feet by 5O
that OF Corpus Christi College is 62 by -, tho
height 35; Trinity Hall Is 36 ieet IN length ny
| "a in width, and - in height, and the Two
| greatest halls, those Of Kings College and
Trinity College, are, the former 102 feet long
| 36 feet wide and 4j feet high This last may
perhaps be regarded as the finest college hal
in England. Now he dining hail at harvard
is l65 feet IN length, GO feet in width, and from
| 30 to 60 feet IN height So. then, as regards di
mensions it surpasses the finest OF the Euglist
halls and when ii is added that Mem otial Hall
connecting with it, is 1Q4 feet in lapGth by u
feet in width, and that the theatre VIII be ad
ded finally upon the other : de With correspond
ing proportions, 1t will be seen that Harvard
men may feel a justifable pride in the s;suc

Gen Shsrman puts 40 re -tra,Lt on tue eI-
preston Of his contsmpts for the forts which
furnish the principal argument against the re-
duciion OF the army. We have got the forts
therefore we must keep the troops to take care
of the forts and preserve the property that is
in them. Gen. Sherman thus 7pit3 on these
Institutions ''Some OF what ara callad mill
tary posts are mere collections of huts made of
logs, adobes, OF mere holes in the ground, and
are about as much forts as prairiP5 dog Will
ages might be called foIt" " Again: "My iudg-
ments has always been that on our seabcafd
we occupy 700 many little Insignificant posts
called forts or batteries, which might as well
be washed into the sea, and the quicker the
better. There are one hundred and eighty
three posts from which quarermasters' re-
turns are made. So long as any one of them
on the seaboard is habitabe. or can he made so
some othcer will command the political or
social influence TO get himself quarterred in

military sense, are exceedingly useful TO OIL
