THE chief opposition to this project is expected to come from those gentlemen of the Corporation who are deeply interested in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; but that institution is surely on a footing sufficiently secure to have nothing to fear from the establishment here of a Museum, which the University, as an institution of national importance, should possess.

The only other building which is at all needed at present is a new Law School. This, however, could be built for about $75,000, and the money for it would naturally come from some one more interested in the Law School than Mr. Hastings was. His gift is to the College; and as an expensive building must be put up, an Art Museum certainly has the strongest claim. Before the new building is begun, it is to be hoped that a definite plan (irrespective of existing buildings, if need be) for the buildings of the Yard may be agreed upon.
