APROPOS of the above: Scene, Parker's; crowd of Holyoke men with their colors; solitary Weld man with alarmingly loyal hat. Somebody says: "They will do it!"

A FRESHMAN who was summoned for overrunning his prayer allowance ingenuously asked if he couldn't have a chance to make them up!
WE were disappointed at not seeing the Harvard Rifle Corps turn out on Saturday last, in memory of their comrades who have deaded during the year.
A BOSTON paper in its Harvard items says that recitations in Junior Philosophy have ceased, "owing to severe illness on the part of the professor." The italics are ours.
AT the annual examination in one of the classical courses, the professor is reported to have said at a quarter past nine: "I have made out your marks, gentlemen; you may go out now."
IT is earnestly hoped that all members of the Cercle Francais who have neglected to pay their dues will pay at once, as several large bills remain unpaid by the Society, owing to the failure of members to pay dues.
ON Monday afternoon the races of the Union Boat Club, which were postponed from the preceding Wednesday, were rowed over the usual course. For the single-scull race there were two entries, Wiley, '77, and Mudge, of the Medical School. At the last moment Mr. Mudge found that his stretcher was too short for him, and Mr. Wiley rowed leisurely over the course alone, making the two miles in 15 minutes 58 seconds. Shortly before six the race for four-oared barges with coxswains was called. There were three entries for this race: a four belonging to the Union Boat Club, consisting of Williams, stroke; Morse, 2; Stevens, 3; Eaton, bow, Minot, coxswain:- a four from the Scientific School, with Otis, stroke; James, 2; Thayer, 3; Yznaga, bow; Herrick, coxswain; - and a third crew consisting of Loring, '78, stroke; Bacon, '75, 2; Taylor, '77, 3; Morgan, '78, bow; Jennison, coxswain. Loring's crew won the race easily in 14 minutes 15 seconds, coming in nearly three lengths ahead of the Union Crew, while the Scientific School men were about four lengths behind the Union. The prizes offered were very handsome silver tankards, and the Union Boat Club showed great generosity in opening the race to crews outside of the club.
SCENE, after last Princeton Base-Ball match on Jarvis Field.
Young Lady. Well! wasn't it real nice that Harvard beat?
Junior. O yes - no! The fact is, I lost money on it!
Young Lady. Ah, so you've been disloyal, too. You are the fifth student I have seen who bet against his Nine this afternoon and lost, and I hope they all did.
