BREVITIES.

THE Secretary of the Athletic Association will be at 17 Holworthy, between the hours of 12 and 1 P. M., every day next week. Those wishing to join will please avail themselves of this opportunity.

THE regular meeting for the election of officers to the Harvard Art Club will take place on Thursday, February 28, at 7.30 P. M. After the business meeting has adjourned, Mr. Norton will discuss numismatics.

ONE of the latest additions to the Library is the Beitrage zur Ernahrung des Schweines. As very few students in Cambridge are supposed to be interested in the feeding of pigs, this interesting pamphlet has been sent to the Bussey Institution. The three students who compose the undergraduate department are now doubtless complaining that there are no duplicates to such valuable books of reference.

AT the last regular meeting of the K. N., officers were elected as follows: President, George A. Burdett; Vice-President, F. W. Baker; Secretary, A. S. Thayer; Treasurer, E. C. Howell.

A ROWING-CLUB has been organized by the members of the Young Men's Christian Association Gymnasium. A boat-house will be built on Charles River this spring; but healthy exercise rather than amateur honors will be the object of the club.

THE denizens of Old Little's were roused from their grinding on Tuesday last by a false alarm of fire. White smoke was seen issuing from a chimney, which, it was afterwards discovered, was caused by the burning of chemicals in the apothecary's shop below.

AT the meeting of the St. Paul's Society last Wednesday, the following officers were elected: President, W. J. Cox, '79; Vice-President, G. H. Davis, '79; Secretary, A. A. Carey, '79; Treasurer, S. Snelling, '79; Librarian, R. C. Sturgis, '81.

THE sympathies of the College are extended to those gentlemen in Nat. Hist. 3 who were disappointed in their expectation of finding on the paper the four questions they had anticipated and prepared. Perhaps next time they will trust more to the text-book than to the voice of rumor.

SINCE the cat-show in Boston and the congress of fair women in New York, it has been proposed to have an intercollegiate exhibition of Freshmen. The genus Freshman certainly presents many interesting varieties, and such a show, if properly managed, might be both moral and instructive. One morning the attendance was divided as follows: Faculty 3, Seniors 15, Juniors 12, Sophomores 3, Freshmen 8. The cry is for a total discontinuance of chapel exercises.

THE Rev. Father Hall of the Church of the Advent, Boston, will deliver a series of lectures on "The Early History of the Christian Church," before the St. Paul's Society, 17 Grays, on Wednesday Evenings during Lent. All are cordially invited to attend.

THERE is some talk among those who have lately been refused entrance to the Glee Club of starting a new musical society called "The Sore-headed Nightingales." If it will occasionally allow itself to be heard, the S. H. N. will soon replace in popular favor the H. G. C., which has confined its melody thus far to a privileged few only.

THE prize bat for the best batting of the season 1877 has been awarded to Mr. Tyng, '76. It is made of mahogany with a silver plate, on which is inscribed: "H. U. B. B. C., season of 1877, prize for the best batting, to James A. Tyng. Average first-base hits, .297; average total base hits, .419." The bat for the coming season is made of ebony with a silver plate. Both are on exhibition in the window of Mr. Bartlett.

MR. FAULHABER will give a series of weekly Readings in German, with German comments, on Monday evenings, beginning February 25, in Harvard Hall. The first readings will be given from Maria Stuart.
