new steel seats, and it has been suggested that the classes as units contribute these by sections, each section to be designated by the number of the class which gave it. The total cost of replacing all the old wooden seats by steel ones is estimated at $22,000, each section costing $500. The idea is to make an appeal to the classes having dinners the night before Commencement day. As there are some fifteen of these each year, the whole amount could be raised by this method in three years, and the "class' sections would be rallying points for graduates at all the big games.

With regard to the present plans of the Park Commission, little has as yet been accomplished. Near Boylston street improvements have been made, and also opposite Longfellow Park. A speedway, for which there has been some demand, will probably run from the corner of Market street, just this side of the abattoir, across the marshes to the northwest corner of Soldiers Field. As this would be a mile drive, over level marshes, with no cross roads, it would make an excellent speedway. The Legislature has just appropriated a sum of money for the general uses of the Park Commission, and some of it will probably be used for the construction of such a road. Considerable draining and grading would be involved in the work, and for several weeks nothing definite in regard to it will be decided.

Though these plans, therefore, are not yet wholly completed, there is no doubt that in the course of two or three years this part of the Charles valley will be so far improved by the laying out of roads and by other work of the Park Commission that Soldiers Field will become a most attractive base for the athletic interests of the university.
