ENPEROR'S GIFT STOLEN,

PRINCE HENRY GONE.
SUSPICION FALLS ON THE MED. FAC -
WHICH HAS BEEN GUILTY OF MANY
PRACTICAL JOKES.

SUSPICION FALLS ON THE MED. FAC
WHICH HAS BEEN GUILTY OF MANY
PRACTICAL JOKES.
The faculty circles Of Harvard University
have been stirred up by the discovery that the
collection of photographs sent to the university
by the German Emperor. and presented in per-
son by Prince Henry on the occasion of his re-
cent visit there, has been stolen, The cOllec-
ton a faithful reproduction of the casts
representative of Germanie art which the En-
peror is having prepared for presentation to
Harvard. Aside from their intrinsic value
specimens of art, they have thus certain inter-
national Importance.
The collection was removed from the Fogg
Art Museum on Saturday night. Entrance was
gained by breaking the skylight. The loss was
not known till morning. and has been kept
quiet since No trace yet has been found
of the missing imperial gift.
1t is the impression In Cambridge that the
theft was probably perpetrated in sport, and
the Med Fac" occurs 10 every one in surmise.
This organization has maintained an old repu-
tation for playing outrageous pranks in mys-
terious and inscrutable ways and has filed the
annals OF unofficial collegiate history with
prises not always in the best of taste The more
important pranks of late years that have dis
tressed the serious minded, though these were
not always laid 10 the door of the Med Fac"
were indulgences in paint. John Howards
statue was decorated with a football score the
Fogg Art Museum was inscribed with taunt
to an art professor who had not scrupled to crit
icise it's architectural features and the facade of
University Hall one morning bore a statement
in red paint to the alleged ultimate destina-
tiOn of the college.
Among the thefts due TO nisdlreeted high
spirits of late was that of the Louisberg cross
ecpsed in the taking of Emperor Williams
gift.
