Department of Archaeology and Ethnology at the World's Fair.

At the recent meeting of the Chicago Harvard Club, Prof. Putnam of Harvard, chief of the department of archaeology at the World's Fair, after describing at length the exhibit which was to be made in his department, remarked that after the fair, the collection which would be by far the most complete of its kind ever made would be left in the hands of the World's Fair board, and that he strongly hoped some effort would be made to secure it as the nucleus of a museum of archaeology and ethnology in Chicago. It is evident that there is but one suitable depository for such a collection - the museum of the University. Prof. Putnam doubtless had this in mind in making the suggestion. What friend of the University will assist it to secure this great prize? - University News. (U. of C.)
