University Taxation.

It is rumored that next year the Cambridge authorities will make an attempt to go still further in the taxation of the University property. By the Supreme Court decision in the Williams College litigation it was found to be possible to assess professors' houses belonging to Massachusetts colleges, and this was accordingly done at Williams, Tufts and Harvard. Recently the Foxcroft Club was taxed for the first time, and now it is said that the University dormitories and Memorial Hall are to be assessed. If this question should be raised, it can be settled only by a long and expensive legal contest.
