...anything, on account of the nearness of the examinations, yet the plan is a good one. In other departments, such as the Mathematical, seminars have proved effective in rousing interest in the work. And a meeting of those interested in Physics will do much to call attention to this branch of college work. At present, among the students at large, the study of Physics is neglected.

Here is something that plays vividly on the imagination. And too it imparts genealogical information. We learn with interest that a branch of the Smith family has been bold enough to go west and inflict its bane on western printers of college catalogues, who find the capital s's in their fonts far below the demand. "Arnold's father spent Sunday with him." Our sympathy for Arnold has no bounds. "Miss Daisy Lovejoy climbed the hill Saturday...
