Mr. Martin A. Ryerson, who last January offered the University of Chicago $100,000 on condition that $400,000 additional should be raised in a specified time, has extended the time for meeting the conditions, and in addition has offered $60,000 for completing the Ryerson Physical Laboratory, for which he had previously given $150,000. He has also given $15,000 for the equipment of the department of Physics. Mr. Sidney A. Kent has announced his intention of fully equipping Kent Hall, which when completed will cost more than $225,000, and Mr. Yerkes has presented the university with what will be the largest telescope in the world.
