Harvard at the Paris Exposition.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At the exhibit of American universities at the Paris Exposition next year, in which Harvard will have a place, it is planned to show the work of every department of the University.

By the aid of charts and pamphlets the development of the college elective system in the Law School will be set forth. The exhibit of the Observatory will represent the work of the United States in astronomy and all the space necessary for this exhibition will be granted. It will consist of reports from the Cambridge, Arequipa and Blue Hill observatories. Among the collection of photographs of heavenly bodies will be the stellar charts and photographs of stellar spectra produced with the aid of the great photographic telescope now in South America, the gift of Miss C. W. Bruce of New York. There also will be an exhibit of glass photography illuminated by electricity. The part that Harvard will play in astronomy at the exposition is made doubly important by the probable meeting in Paris next summer of the Astro-Photographic Congress, composed of astronomers from all over the world.

There will be photographs from the various museums and buildings, but the extent of this part of the exhibit is as yet indefinite.
