Paris Exhibit

The Harvard exhibit for the Paris Exposition will be ready for shipment in a few days. The space accorded to the University exhibit proper is two "units," each unit consisting of a glass-topped cabinet above which, fastened to the wall, is a set of winged frames containing thirty-three card-board plates 22 by 28 inches. Each set somewhat resembles a large book with very heavy leaves.

On the cover of the first unit is printed the Harvard shield in colors together with statements concerning the founding of the University and its endowments. The sheets that follow are charts showing the growth of the University, in teachers and students, from 1650 to 1900, the number of courses, aids to students, available funds, expenditure, etc. Next come pages devoted to each of the different schools, showing by means of charts and diagrams, the number of teachers and students, the requirements for admission, and the amount of work required for degrees in each department. Placed at intervals through this half of the exhibit are photographs of the University buildings.

The second unit is devoted almost entirely to the museums. This set contains a list of museum facilities and pictures of the University and Peabody Museums. The rest of the space is filled mainly with photographs showing the work done by the Department of Archaeology and Ethnology and the arrangement of the exhibits here. In addition to this a page is devoted to University publications, including the Law Review, the publications of the Astronomical Observatory and those of the museums.

One of the most interesting features of the exhibit is a large map occupying the wall space of both units and showing the area and distribution of the University property and principal buildings in Cambridge, including dormitories, libraries, athletic fields, the Observatory, etc., all the property of the University being shown in colors.
