...College papers in supplying them with frequent and remarkable scores. An historical society was the last thing discussed ; but the Faculty, recognizing the "social tendency" of these "mutual improvement societies," declined to provide a room for the meetings, and the project has fallen through. The lack of support on the part of the younger classes may perhaps be attributed to the fact that no "shingle" was talked of in the prospectus...

...four pages, which measures nine inches by six, and one of which is given to advertisements. "Our price (5 cents) is somewhat exorbitant," say the editors, who modestly keep their names in the background, "but it will be lowered as soon as we are assured of our financial support." In justification of their "innovation" they urge "the dulness of the times and the demand for news," which latter commodity they apparently propose to manufacture, inasmuch as the Record and Courant are supposed to publish all that happens at Yale...

...seems likely that our Freshmen have at length found some one to row with. The Freshmen at Columbia are devoting all their energies to the support of the University four, and therefore could not accept the challenge sent to them; Yale would not accept; Princeton has no navy; but at Cornell the challenge has been taken into consideration, and the probabilities are that it will be accepted.

There is some trouble affecting them that, for want of a better word, may perhaps be called indifference. The managers have done everything in their power to make the dances attractive, and praise is due them for their efforts. The difficulty, however, seems to lie in a mistaken idea prevalent among dancing men, that if they invite partners for the German, bouquets are de rigueur, and the inconvenience of sending flowers oftentimes...

THERE has been a desire expressed for a course of evening readings in German similar to those in French given by Professor Bocher; and the instructors have decided to give such a course after the semi-annuals. We hope that it will have such a hearty support as to justify its repetition another year. The students in German thus far have not encouraged anything of the sort. An excellent course in reading at sight last year attracted but few, and therefore was not given again this year. It is true that students are not as well acquainted with German...
