The Greek government, which has all along treated the Americans with especial favor, has offered a piece of land for the purpose. A committee was appointed to consider the best means of raising the required funds. Prof. Gurney of Harvard resigned from the managing committee. The next director will be Prof. Lewis R. Packard of Yale, who is to be succeeded after one year by Prof. J. C. Van Benschoten of Wesleyan, and after two years by Prof...

The opportunities for public speaking which the society offers to the college are of the greatest value and should be taken advantage of by a much larger number of men than has been the case in the past. While the Union this year has shown signs of great activity, and while we do not doubt that it will continue to be a success, still we think that there are many ways in which it could be improved.
