EXCHANGE poetry - bad.

THE monthlies are generally too heavy or else childishly light.

THE Yale Courant comes out in new form, which, as regards typography, is far inferior to its old one. A change has been made, too, in the management of the paper, which places it more in the hands of graduates. The little Record is thus left the sole undergraduate organ. The best article in the Courant is the one on the Iconoclast. It demolishes that crazy sheet pretty thoroughly. We give a specimen: "The article on base ball is marvellously weak. The author has been so kind as to sum up his argument in syllogistic form, as follows: 'All men want to go to Skull and Bones; playing ball will not take them; hence, men will not play ball to get there.' Now there are only three flaws in this argument: The major premise is not true; the minor premise is false; and the conclusion would not necessarily follow if both premises were true."

THE Record says: "We shall print very soon a series of articles on Harvard customs, which we hope will prove of some interest to our readers." We shall wait for these articles with much impatience, and we assure the little Record that they will prove of quite as much interest here as at dear old Yale.

IT is rather amusing to notice the sincere way in which many of our smaller exchanges compliment the Advocate and Magenta on their cheerful resignation after Harvard's defeat in the Regatta, and applaud their "plucky" hopes for next year. We assure our kind sympathizers that boating is not quite dead here, and that just as likely as not there will be some kind of a Harvard crew next summer.

YALE won the foot-ball match with Rutgers, at New Haven.

THE nice little boating row at Yale is all over, and the Skull and Bones still exists.

ONE who knows, says "kissing a lady with an Elizabethan ruffle on is about as much fun as embracing a circular saw in full motion." - Ex.

WHAT are we to think of the Senior who replied to the question of his instructor, "How would you ask for two glasses of lager?" "By raising two fingers," and that "he had been there." Perhaps it would be well to add, for the benefit of those who are waiting to find out where the laugh comes in, that the instructor expected him to say, "Zwei glas lager." - Chronicle.

Freshman. Can I go to New York, sir?

Professor. Why?

Fresh. I want to see my mother.

Prof. That's very natural.

Fresh. My mother wants to see me too.

Prof. Well, that's very natural also.
