FAME.

OH, what is fame? An empty name,

Oft purchased for a dollar:

'T is given to some fashion new,

Some coat, or hat, or collar.

For you may buy a "Stanley tie,"

And "Prince Napoleon breeches,"

And other toilet things to match,

For very little riches.

The "Father of his country" lives

In freedom's fairest story;

But when a pie was named for him,

Surpassed he all in glory!

THE culinary department of Memorial Hall has been greatly improved during the summer, and better board than there has been heretofore is expected.

COMPLAINT is made that no lateral shower-baths have been provided in the Gymnasium, and that nothing has been done to regulate the temperature of the water.

MR. HOAGUE'S course, the Political History of the United States, has been elected by eighty men this year. This is a very great increase over the number in the elective last year.

THE angles of the running track in the Gymnasium are so sharp that it will probably be necessary to walk over a portion of it. It is thought that the time made on this track will be seriously affected in consequence.

THE cross-beams of the Gymnasium are so high that it will be impracticable to hang the "aerial machinery" from them. Probably it will be necessary to put in an iron framework nearer the floor, to remedy the error.

The men will begin dieting this fall, and will remain on the water as long as possible. They have two pair-oared boats for coaching purposes.

THE enclosure in the basement of the Gymnasium for the winter practice of the Nine is perfect in its appointments. It is separated from the bowling-alleys by a brick wall, raised about four feet from the surface, and a wire screen placed above the wall, which allows the light and air to pass through, but keeps out the ball from the alleys.

THE number of students in each of the eleven branches to be taught in the Woman's College is as follows:- in Greek, 4; in Latin, 7; in English, 4; in German, 4; in French, 4; in Italian, and Spanish, 0; in Philosophy, 1; in Political Economy, 2; in History, 2; in Music, 1; in Mathematics (Solid Geometry and Plane Trigonometry), 1; (Analytic Geometry), 4; (in Differential Calculus), 2.

THE recent appointment of Mr. Charles E. Faxon of Jamaica Plain to the chair of botany, of Mr. Edward Burgess of Boston to that of entomology, and of Mr. L. S. Ford, a graduate of the School, to the position of demonstrator in zoology, fills out the corps of instructors in the Bussey Institution to the original complement of seven. This department of the University is better fitted than ever before to give systematic instruction in the branches - agriculture, horticulture, and the knowledge of domestic animals - to which it is specially devoted.

ANOTHER attempt will be made at Cambridge, England, next October, to publish a weekly university paper. The Cambridge Review will be a medium for news and for the discussion of University questions. A sufficient guaranty-fund has been subscribed to insure the appearance of the paper for some time; and at present it is intended that the whole body of contributors and guarantors shall form a general committee to elect the editors and control the management. The paper is to be of the same size (quarto) as the Cambridge University Reporter.

ALL Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores are required to present themselves for registration on one of the first three days of the academic year, in conformity with the following regulation, adopted by the Faculty, April 2, 1877:-

"Voted, That a penalty of 32 censure-marks shall be imposed upon any student who does not register himself between 9 A.M. and 1 P.M. on the first Thursday of the academic year; of 32 marks in addition if he does not so register himself on or before the first Friday; and of 32 marks in addition if he does not so register himself on or before the first Saturday."

The place for registration may be ascertained on the bulletin boards.
