The Committee on the Semitic Museum has decided to use several rooms in the Museum for educational purposes. The furnishing of the building has already been begun, and the rooms will be ready for use about March 1. The entire Semitic Department will be transfered to the new quarters as soon as the furnishing is completed, and the seventeen courses of the department will be given in the lecture rooms which are being fitted up for that purpose. In addition to the lecture and recitation rooms there will be a large Semitic library comprising both the regular text books and an extensive collection of the general reading on the subject. That portion of the Museum, however, which is to be used for exhibitions will not be occupied until next summer.
