SOMEWHAT more than a year ago Mr. Samuel Osgood, of New York, proposed for the consideration of the Memorial Hall Committee the idea of forming, within the new building, a museum of old Harvard relics of history and art. This in a few years would become a collection of no small importance, and certainly could not fail to increase in interest as years go by. Whether or not any move has been made toward realizing Mr. Osgood's idea we cannot say; but we feel that no time is to be lost in taking a more general action on the subject. If the Memorial Building when completed is to afford the facilities, it would seem that no better place could be chosen for locating such a collection. The College is already in possession of many most interesting relics, some of which might, we think, occupy a more honored position than that of being in the way in the Library. There are many more Harvard relics which are but lightly valued in the indifferent hands into which they have fallen, and could therefore be easily secured. These relics are gradually finding their way, for want of such a central collection, into the possession of our old and historical New England families, where they have a value above their cost, and where they will remain as heirlooms long after Harvard has sought for them, if she delay her seeking for a few years more. This centennial has brought to light many valuable relics, and there are other eyes than ours watching for their appearance. If we would secure such a collection as Mr. Osgood proposed, this would seem to be the appointed time, and we hope to see it improved.
