New Dental School Fund.

On account of the recent financial troubles, the committee which has had charge of the fund for a new Dental School building, has not lately made any effort to complete the necessary sum. It will be remembered that this movement was started last January. A public meeting was held in Horticultural Hall, at which President Eliot, Dr. McKenzie, Governor Russell, and Phillips Brooks made addresses. It was proposed to raise $150,000 for the erection of a building on the lot adjoining that owned by the Boston Medical Library Association on St. Botolph street.

This site, near the Medical School, is especially advantageous as first students of dentistry are compelled to attend medical lectures.

Including both paid and unpaid subscriptions, the fund now amounts to over $16,000. Of this, $4475 is already paid in; $3060 is in small sums pledged by alumni to be paid sixty days after notification that $50,000 has been subscribed; and $8500 is in unpaid subscriptions.
