MANY POINTS OF INTEREST IN UNIVERSITY LISTED

The following brief directory of the main points of interest in the University and the immediate vicinity has been compiled for the benefit of visitors here today.

Occupying a central position in the Yard and dominating the Campus is the Widener Memorial Library. On the first floor are the Treasure Room, where the rarest collection belonging to the University are on exhibition, and the Fransworth Room, containing beautifully bound sets of standard authors, where no studying but only pleasure reading is permitted. On the mezzanine floor is a room containing photographs and mementos of all the University men who died in the Great War. Through this one reaches the Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Room, where his private library is kept. On the second floor is the Main Reading Room. On the top floor a number of special libraries, of which the most notable is the Dramatic Library which possesses one of the best collections of play bills in the country. The building is open on week days from 8:45 A.M. to 10 P.M., although after 6 o'clock only the Main Reading Room and Farnsworth room are accessible.

As one leaves the library, on the left is the Yard proper around which are the senior dormitories, all buildings dating from the eighteenth or early nineteenth century.

In the northwest corner of the Yard is Phillips Brooks House, the center of the religious and philanthropic activity of the University.

On Cambridge Street, not far from Phillips Brooks House is the Fogg Art Museum, where are carefully selected exhibits of ancient and modern art. Works by Ruskin and Turner, Japanese panels, some rare Renaissance paintings, and an extensive collection of prints are some of the interesting exhibits to be seen here. The Museum is open to the public daily, except Sundays and holidays from 9 A.M. to 5 P. M.

Opposite the Fogg Museum is Memorial Hall, where nearly a thousand students board. Beyond this on Kirkland Street is the Germanic Museum, recently re-opened to the public.

On Divinity Avenue, about 200 yards off Kirkland Street is the University Museum, where is the famous Ware collection of Blaschka Glass Models. In this building are also the Museum of Comparative Zoology, the Mineralogical and Geological Museum, and the Peabody Museum, all of which are open from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. except Sunday. Directly opposite the University Museum on Divinity Avenue is the Semitic Museum.

On the corner of Divinity Avenue and Kirkland Street is the University Press.

At the junction of Peabody and Kirkland Streets and directly opposite Phillips Brooks House is the Hemenway Gymnasium, to the right of which is the Music Building, where the musical activities of the University are centered. Behind this is the Jefferson Physical Laboratory.

Some of the other important college buildings are the Freshman Dormitories, built in 1915, on the Charles River Parkway; the Union, the club for all men in the University, on the corner of Quincy street opposite the Yard; President Lowell's residence, on the east side of the Yard; the College Observatory on Garden street, a few blocks from the Yard; and the Lampoon Building, at the junction of Mt. Auburn and Bow streets.

Other points of interest are Radcliffe College on Garden street, and the Sargent School of Physical Education, on Everett street, about a quarter of a mile north of the Yard.
