A MEETING of the Harvard Club of San Francisco was recently held in that city, and its affairs seem to be in a prosperous condition. The dinner was well attended, considering the distances men have to travel in California. There were present about twenty or twenty-five graduates and former members of the College. Several members of the class of '77 graced the dinner with their presence, and enthusiastic speeches were made by graduates of longer standing. Mr. Fried-lander, formerly of the class of '79, was the youngest gentleman at the dinner.

THE Faculty has appointed the following members of the second-year class in the Law School, being those who passed the best examination in June last in the studies of the first year, to write parts for the next Commencement, from which the Faculty will select the part to be delivered; Barrows, Bradley, Croswell, Cushing, Du Bois, Green, Howland, Morawetz, O'Callaghan, Ritchie, and Wigglesworth.
