Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—In a recent discussion on the proposed appropriation of the whole of the Botanic Gardens site for Natural Science Departments, it seemed to be generally agreed that the Mechanical Department ought to be removed from a locality where it must cause vibrations injurious to microscopical or physical research. The suggested removal of the Herbarium to the Botanic Gardens was disapproved of by the Professor and his Assistant-Curator. The proposed appropriation of the present Chemical Rooms for Pathology was generally approved. Mr. J. W. Clark emphatically condemned the present Museum of Human Anatomy and Surgery as a discredit to the University. Prof. Hughes further put in a claim that the Geological Museum should extend to the extreme east of the site, and that the erection of the buildings should be begun at once.
