Anonymous Gifts for Harvard.

It is announced that a new dormitory to cost $150,000 is to be built at once, with special reference to the accommodation of students of small means. It is to be placed on the east side of Divinity avenue north of the Divinity Library, and will face west. This great gift is anonymous.

Another anonymous gift of the most welcome sort has just been made. It is the gift of a new Library Reading-room, to stand just south of the present stack. This reading-room is to be large enough to seat comfortably 400 persons at one time, and to provide also large spaces for departmental libraries and seminary work. The plans are in preparation from sketches made by the librarian.
