The need of the University for an adequate building for the use of the Department of Music will be satisfied in a short time by the erection of a music building, in accordance with plans approved last year.
A Harvard alumnus, who wishes his name withheld for the present, has promised $80,000 for the erection of such a structure, if $50,000 is raised for its maintenance.
Professor W. R.
