In the rooms of the Scientific School in University, several interesting pictures have recently been put up. The latest acquisition is a large frame containing photographs of the first faculty of the school, as they appeared at the time of their first meeting in 1847. The following members are among the most distinguished: Hon. Edward Everett, William Cranch Bond, Joseph Lovering, Cornelius C. Felton, Jeffries Wyman, Asa Gray, Louis Agassiz, Eben N. Horsford, Charles Beck, and Benjamin Pierce.

There are also separate pictures of Asa Gray and Louis Agassiz, presented by Mrs. Gray and Mrs. Agassiz; and pictures of the first four deans, Professor Horsford, Professor Walcott, Gen. Eustis, and Professor Chaplain. These rooms are a great improvement on the rooms before occupied in the Scientific School Building.
