...before the University on a topic that has hitherto been so little publicly dealt with as that of Greek vase paintings. Dr. Sachs is eminently fitted for this work, as he has been making a specialty of this study for several years. The point of view which his lectures, whose titles appear in the college calendar to-day, will take is a novel one, and of such a nature as to appeal to the layman as well as to the scholar. We trust that the college will show its appreciation of the favor conferred on it by the Classical Club...
...Harvard man. It is full of anecdotes of men and times-times when the institutions and customs of our University were totally different from what they are today. It tells how sixty years ago college men enjoyed few of the comforts we enjoy to-day. There were few rooms whose floors were covered with carpets. Their furniture consisted of a pine bed, a washstand and a few coarse chairs. Men had to rise for a 6 o'clock chapel, from which no cuts were allowed. They had to attend two recitations before they ate breakfast, consisting of folls and coffee...

It was hoped that Professor Sloane would be elected vice-president, but the board of trustees did not see fit to create a new office, and so there will be no change in the powers of the president. Thursday night the students serenaded both Dr. Cosh, whose place it will be hard to fill in the hearts of undergraduates, and Dr. Patton, both of whom made short speeches. The latter said he would attempt to carry out the policy which Dr. McCosh had inaugurated and would make no changes in the government of the college. The news...
Such a scholarship would also be of great service to candidates of small means who are desiring to enter college. A candidate who will complete her examination in the coming June, and whose average for the first half of her examination, passed in June last, was over 70 per cent., having fitted herself while teaching for support at a country district school, is now making an effort to obtain sufficient means to enable her to spend some time in collegiate study, in order that she may increase her value as a teacher. Such candidates should be encouraged, and the committee...
