SEVERAL rooms are still to be had at the Bursar's office.

PLANS of the new Gymnasium are now for sale at Sever's.

A MEMBER of '82 advertises for a chum. Don't all speak at once!

THE new Library Bulletin will not appear until the middle of October.

THE new index of names at Memorial is a much-needed improvement.

A LARGE number of the Professors have been to Europe during the summer.

IT is already announced (by Freshmen) that '82 is the best class that has ever entered.

PROFESSOR LANE'S house has been moved away to make room for Sever Hall.

PROFESSOR ANDERSON will not return next year, and Professor White will take his electives.

ONE hundred and thirty electives are given this year, of which thirty-eight are for graduates.

CANDIDATES for the Foot-ball Eleven are requested to appear on Holmes Field every day at 330.

THE registration of Freshmen takes place on Monday, and their recitations begin on the same day.

AND now the guileless Freshman is seen inquiring the way to the Secretary's office or to Carl's.

PHILOSOPHY 2 is so popular this year that seventy men are said to have been so bold as to express their willingness to tackle with Kant's Critique on Pure Reason.

THE vine on the back of Grays makes a very pretty appearance. It would give Harvard and Massachusetts a more venerable look if they also had more vines on them.

NOW is the time when the Freshman is deceived by the bogus summons. Last year they had the college seal in the corner, and purported to come from the office. Look out for them.

FRESHMEN are not expected to go to prayers until next Tuesday, although the other classes began on Friday. Thus they learn at the very first that others have privileges which they have not.

DURING the summer extensive improvements have been made on the college buildings, viz. a new handle has been put on one of the doors of University, and a new blackboard eraser has been purchased.

THE basement of the new Gymnasium and most of the first floor are already up. It will evidently be a very fine one when completed, but there does not seem to be much prospect that '79 will enjoy the use of it.

STUDENTS entering college or returning from vacation are requested to leave their address - name of building or street and number of room - at the Post-Office, so that their letters can be delivered without delay.

AT a meeting of the President and Fellows of Harvard College, held July 8, 1878, a communication was received from the secretary of the committee of fifty graduates formally conveying Memorial Hall to them. The gift was accepted under the specified conditions, and a vote of thanks was passed.

"WHY, holloa, old fellow, how are you?

Just arrived from Europe to-day?

Were you sea-sick crossing the Channel?

Did you see all the sights while away?

"Of course you did not omit to

Pay a visit to old Temple Bar?"

"O no; we ordered a cobbler

And drank to the health of the Czar."
