Changes in Massachusetts.

When the alterations about Massachusetts Hall are finished, Harvard will have a recitation room which will be large enough to accommodate its large classes for some years to come. It is calculated that the new room will be able to seat 550 men. To compare this with the seating capacity of the new room in Upper Dane, the latter has only 320 seats at the benches. The desk in the new hall will be against the middle of the northern wall.

In order to avoid the confusion of having the classes in both. Upper and Lower Mass. Use the same door, a separate staircase is being built. Instead of making a turn as it does now, the stairway, will lead straight down and come out at the north east corner of the building.
