In addition to the memorials of John Harvard which have been placed in one of the exhibition cases in the Treasure Room for exhibition today on the 317th anniversary of the birth of the famous New England clergyman, several other interesting exhibits have been prepared.

In the other cases in the room are to be seen the manuscripts of various authors, in most cases the original draughts as sent in to the printer. Among the authors represented are Thackeray, Ruskin, Matthew Arnold, Scott, Keats, Dickens, George Eliot, and Charles Reade. The manuscript of Milton's Minor Poems is on exhibition in a photographic facsimile of the original.

Among the American authors whose manuscripts are on exhibition are Hawthorne, Emerson, Holmes, Longfellow, Lowell, Mrs. Stowe, Mrs. Celia Thaxter, E. R. Sill, Bayard Taylor, and Alan Seeger. These are in addition to other authors' manuscripts permanently on exhibition in the Treasure Room in the drawers of the central case. In the cases in the Widener Room are shown other manuscripts of Burns, Lamb, Scott, Stevenson, Swinburne, Thoreau, and Waitier.
