Fourteen men will now leave the boat and commence work on the machines.

THE President and Fellows of Harvard College, at their meeting on Monday, voted to guarantee that the price of board at Memorial Hall from September 28 to December 23, 1876, inclusive, shall not exceed five dollars a week.

Thayer be requested to act as a committee to control the expenditures of the Dining Association on behalf of the Corporation during the period covered by the guaranty.

THERE will be published during the coming week "A Manual of the Harvard Law School." It is intended to embody in this all the necessary information in regard to the Law School, the names of the students, the clubs and their members, some of the more important examination papers, and a statement of a number of such cases as are argued before the clubs. The club system, with which few undergraduates are acquainted, will be explained, and the cases are stated, both to render the manner of work clearer and in order that any club may readily secure a case for argument by reference to it.

THE Committee to visit the various departments of the College met November 9 and formed themselves into the following sub-committees:-
