will be some centuries, though, before it will
have entertained within its walls as guests as
many distinguished men and women as were
gathered from time to time in the old presi-
Dental house.
Really and truly, making allowance for
the glamor of time, we have no more az
many great Americans as there used to be.
These are not heroic times, though they well
might be-. These are moneyed times. Rick
americans we have in plenty, but OF great
ones few.
tied, the stranger viii find himself instinct
lively turning again toward Memorial hall.
Thitherward the heart tends most warmly,
and there tho visitor fingers longest. He will
pause for one more peep into the varsity eat
ing room, with it's lights and clatter. The
colored walters here have long been famous.
Some Of them are able to repeat scraps of
learning and Latin as glibly as the best.
Passing through the door from the dining
room the traveller will once more enter
Memorial hall proper and glance reverently
around. Each side of the long hall is covered
to a height Of eighteen feet with carved black
walnut. 1t is so built as to be q succession
of graceful Gothic arches, somewhat raised
from the fiat surface. There are twenty
eight such arches, and within each is q white
marble tablet. Upon these are inscribed the
names of the 40 students and graduates who
lost their lives in the war. No other college
can present so many. This they say is 1.-THE
bravest memory of the university"
When u rich New Highlander of either sex
wishes to be immortal, he or she gives a pile
Of money to Harvard university. A new
building is erected and to it is given the
name of the individual whose donation built
it. This is a cheap way of gaining fame,
and very agreeable all around.

Memorial hall was built by the alumni
and friends Of the university to commemorate
the students who left the old college to so to
their death in the war. Ii is really a group
OF buildings instead Of one. The united
length is 80 feet, the width us. The walls
are red brick laid in black mortar. The trim
mings are black brick and Nova Scotia buff
sandstone. The roof, or rather the roofs, are
of slate and metal. The slate is in three
colors, and the metals are copper, zinc and
wrought iron. Here is material for a power
full elective battery.
Memorial hall is in three great parts or
divisions Its extreme length Is from east to
west. The east wing Is the university thea
TIRE. 1t is called the Sanders theatre. n. NJ.
Sanders perpetuated his name by leaving a
beouest to build it. 1t is used rs a public
meeting place on great occasions. 1t Is after
the design OF n classic theatre, having an
open roof, in which you cansee up to the very
ridge pole, so to speak.
Here it is where the students perform their
famous Greek plays. While the imposing
and costly structure was built in memory Of
the dead soldier students, it also marks the
influence OF the Harvard alumni. Formerly,
in the fashion of the good old time, Harvard
was under control of the state of MaSSachu-
sets That arrangement was abolished, and
now the alumni, merely by virtue of being
alumni, take part in its management.

MUSEUM OF

The lamented Professor Louis Agassiz gave
the study Of natural history its first genuine
and wide impulse in this country. his whole
geological collection, the fruit Of the labors OF
his life, was purchased by the college. But
there was no place TO store all the thousands
of treasures. AgaSsiz plunged into the work
of getting a house built for them with all the
fiery zeal Of his soul He lectured, he talked,
he urged. He went before the legislature
to plead the case.
any great object" he said, lis to have a
museum founded here which will equal the
great museums Of the Old World We have
8 continent before US for exploration which
has as yet been only skinned ON the sur,
face"
The result wa the building whose picture
here appears. Iteontains altogether seventy
one rooms, mostly so by 40 feet in size,
and twelve galleries The director Of the
museum is Alexander AgaSsiz, son Of the be
loved teacher.

Exhibitions within the hall of athletics,
to which the public are admitted, is one Of
the features of winter entertainments at
Cambridge. Competitive prizes are striven
for in jumping, running, trapeze, ring, rope,
bar and other exercises. Audiences OF l,2O
to 1900 persons attend these exhibitions, and
they are sometimes really exciting. Boating,
lawn tennis and football are favorite outdoor
pastimes of the Harvard boys. Their rivals
say the standard of sporting excellence Is
raised far above that of scholarly excellence
in the old varsity, and that the best boxer is
the biggest hero. With that, however, we
have no concern.
Time was when the scholars of the country
came from New England. That time Is
past forever, not because New England is
less scholarly, but the rest of the country is
more SO. Certain it is, though, that the Har-
ward oarSmen are now far more famous than
the Harvard scholars.

The new building for athletic sports came
into existence in this way, and it is called
Hemenway gymnasium. Like most of the
buildings Of new Harvard, it has externally
the appearance of a chapel or some sort of
pious structure. 1t is run" as irreverent
people would say, under the auspices of the
Harvard Athletic association. This is, per
haps, the most famous adjunct of the univer-
sity. The gymnasium is a regular part of
the course of training, and costs $1,000 a
year, but the last report of the president
says: THE corporation does not consider
this expenditure Improbable or dispropOr-
tomato" Teachers of gymnastics and ath,
letics are employed. About 5 per cent. of ali
the tuition fees paid in Cambridge goes to
the Department of physical training.

"Most of the greatest discoveries tn world
hes ever known have been made during The
present century"
Such was n recent remark Of the President
of the National Science Association. and no
one can doubt its truth. The application
of steam ana electricity have all le5n
brought about within a comparatively few
yeary, while tie lealn of mechanics he's
taken immgnso str.d.a. But the greatest
and bet discoveries are those which lessen
pain and add JOY to the human roce. And
these discoveries are il n quiet way doing
more FOR the good Of the world. than any
ard all material discoveries combined.
A gentle IN al, hi; II in scientific acquire.

benefit OF the human rIGe, was forced to the
conclusion I at CERTAIN elepentS in the b1dy
which were most EtckiGg. cou'd be supplied.
Acting Upon this belief, he carefully cz
perimented and produced a compound which
by absorbing and retaining the elements
taken into the system adds more aibumen TO
the body and hence Supplies more life than
ANYTHING ever before discovered. This con.
pound is called Vn!ina Cordial. II is net a

II is a boon to the aged and n help to fee

that men and women need q friend in the

thoroughly impressed with its greatness till
he visited Memorial hall at Harvard univer-

stitution had given to the country in the last
war. Here were mighty old names, names
familiar on the page Of our history since we
had a history. They belonged to families
famous in the walks Of learning, literature
and politics generation after generation.
