BOOKS AND MAGAZINS.

The Harvard Annex has had very
remarkable development in the few
years of it's existence, up to the time,
the present year, when it became Rad
cliffe College. Its place to-day among
our women's colleges is conspicuous.
Miss Helen Leah Read, one of the most
scholarly graduates, has an article upon
the college in the January number of
the New England Magazine, giving an
account of it's growth and describing it's
work to-day. The article is illustrated
by portraits of Mrs. Agassiz and other
friends and officials of the college and
by many other interesting pictures, and
it will be read with pleasure, not only
by the Radcliffe constituency but by
the friends of the higher education of
women everywhere. Warren F. KEEL
