...course, with all due respect to the instructor, is not an elementary course, and no beginner ought to think of taking it. The question is, Why is there no course in Zoology to correspond to the Botany and Chemistry courses? I hope another year the authorities will give us such a course, and allow Zoology to take its proper place here with other "liberal" studies, and not be made a specialty for doctors...

SKATING.Why can't the Athletic Association give some skating-races this winter, and so help to fill up the dull season? A course could be easily laid out, on Fresh Pond or some other neighboring water, of say a straight quarter-mile, and races of a mile, half-quarter, hundred yards, etc., could be easily given. If the H. A. A. will do so, the editor of this column will give a $ 10 cup for a race of quarter-mile heats, best two in three. Such a race should furnish good sport, and fast time would doubtless be made...
