en more lively measures there. This house was of quiet dignity, and had for a long time been the home of the family of Judge Fay, wherefore it has since been known as Fay House. Behind it were inclosures in which the venerable Professor Sophocles hat in the front room in the second story on the north side of the front hall the Reverend Samuel Gilman, a relative of Judge Fay, had written the words of Fair Harvard, to be used on the occasion of the two hundredth anniversary of Harvard College,s won. When all the spare rooms on Appian Way had been exhausted, a building became a necessity, and then it was that Miss Fay of her own accord called upon Mrs. Gilman to ask if the Annex would not buy her homestead for its future quarters. The ts were brought to bear but a few years ago. A notable improvement in the premises was the addition of the third story. Miss Fay had changed the roof some years before, but now all of her work was taken away, and a new floor was made which contains

ected with local history, some of which are of much antiquarian or artistic interest. A large glass case has recently been added for the old regimental flag presented to the library by the 38th regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, to whom it was given by Cambridge women in January, 1864. Aside from the contributions to the Memorial Room, the library has had many valuable gifts in money and books from Cambridge people. In 1873 it received a thousand dollars by the will of Mr. Isaac Fay, and in 1889 two thousand dollars by that of Mr. Daniel P. Cummings. In 1889 also a fund of about nine thousand dollars for its increase was raised by a citizens' subscription. Among the more important gifts of books may be mentioned about five hundred volumes, chiefly historical, from Mr. Denman W. Ross; more than two thousand volumes (with a collection of paintings, engravings, photographs, medals, coins, etc.) from the estate of Mrs. Anna L. Moering; the rare and valuable medical li

, 1872. It is due to this warm-hearted, energetic woman to declare that her interest in the hospital never flagged, and the hope never ceased that the day would come when the dearest wish of her heart would be realized. In December, 1873, Mr. Isaac Fay bequeathed to the hospital $10,000, with the restriction that it should be used only for the erection of buildings. This generous bequest thus restricted was carefully invested. In 1881, nine years after the hospital had been closed, Cambrise was renewed, and by liberal gifts, and especially by a Fair held by the ladies of Cambridge in December of the same year, $12,000 were added to its funds. These funds were still further increased by many gifts during the following two years. Mr. Fay's bequest had now reached $18,000. The hospital inclosure contains nine and one third acres. The soil is dry, gravelly, and sandy. The surface upon which the buildings stand is about twenty-five feet above the level of the river, and suffic
