CHEMISTRY.- Professor. Mr. - , please hand me that ewer.

Student. Sir?

Prof. That ewer there.

Stud. Yes, sir, I'm here.

Prof. (getting his bile riled). On the table.

Stud. On the table?

Prof. (bile very much riled). Don't you see that ewer on the table?

Stud. I ain't on the table!

Prof. (ready to bust). Can't you see that ewer full of AS?

Student feels greatly insulted, and leaves the room to lay before the President his grievances. Professor, very much discomfited, goes for the ewer himself. - Ex.

AT Yale College, three years ago, foot-ball was unknown; last year, the foot-ball ground was crowded every afternoon; this year, nobody takes the slightest interest in it. - Neolaean Review.

THE last number of the Spectrum is a great improvement on the preceding ones.

"HEAVY, so heavy," is all we have breath enough for, after looking through the Virginia University Magazine.

FROM the Courant we learn that the question of hazing is attracting much attention just now at Yale, and should judge that both those who are in favor of continuing the old custom and its opponents have very strong feelings upon the subject. A writer in the same paper suggests that "Bones men" refrain from wearing their pins in public, in order to do away with the hard feelings in the Senior Class "which are due to the relations of Bones men and Neutrals." As Harvard men, we approve of such advice, not as applied to the Skull and Bones in particular, but as extended to every society whose members sport a pin; but in our eyes Yale shorn of badges would be no longer Yale.

THE College Chronicle has for a motto the sentiment esto cere perennius, which, for the sake of posterity, we trust relates to the institution of which it is the organ and not to the publication itself, unless the latter undergoes a speedy and thorough reform. Its tone is puerile and weak throughout, and is rendered doubly so by the enormous society-titles of "Cliosophic" and "Philorhetorian," to which it gives prominent positions in its columns.

THE Packer Quarterly lies before us, and we have no hesitation in pronouncing it the best exchange which has come to our table this year. Its articles are written upon subjects to which its fair contributors show themselves able to do justice; there is no attempt made to soar upon wings which the greatest men of the times have lacked strength to propel, while at the same time, that other extreme, so suggestive of elementary spelling-books and "puss-in-the-corner," is nowhere to be met with in its pages. It is very interesting, extremely sensible, and thoroughly feminine. As comparisons are odious, we will not draw any; but when we make a mental contrast between the Packer and some of its masculine, "poluphloisboical" "University" brethren, we are free to say that the advantage lies all on one side.
