In the light of Mr. Hemenway's generous gift to the University, the following quotation from "Harvard College by an Oxonian," reads with a new interest:
"There are no public baths in the town. The Gymnasium has a few, but very few. In the CRIMSON I have seen more than one complaint of their deficiency. In this respect Harvard is far behind Yale, whose noble gymnasium is amply supplied. It has been said, and with some reason too, that Harvard has only to make its wants known when a benefactor speedily arises. I trust that the voice of a stranger may reach a rich man's ears and remove this reproach from a great University."
