THE marks in Greek 3 are out.

SEVENTEEN men are now trying for the Nine.

THE debate at the Institute last Friday night was very able.

THE gymnasium at Cornell is kept up by private subscription.

THE second number of the Lampoon is a very good one.

PACH has issued a remarkably good photograph of the Cabinet of President Hayes.

MEMBERS of the Freshman class are requested to pay their subscriptions to the Class Crew to L. E. Sexton, No. 6 Matthews.

THE managers of Young's Hotel are authority for the statement that dinners given by Harvard men are much more orderly than they used to be.

THE witticism beginning "Stella Basbleu," which was so badly misprinted in our last number, should have been credited to the Columbia Spectator.

Been to Olivette?

Not yet.

Well, take a cigarette.

WE have received the February number of the Harvard Register. The covers of this enterprising magazine fully sustain the reputation so justly won by the January issue.

IN another Brevity we speak of the services held during Lent. We wish to say that students are allowed to attend St. John's, not only in Lent, but also at any other time that they desire.

MR. L. O. EMERSON'S new collection of Quartets and Choruses for male voices, published by the Ditsons, has been received by us. The book is certainly worthy the attention of our College vocalists.

INVITATIONS to the Greek Play have been accepted by Gen. Garfield, Queen Victoria, Emperor William, King Humbert, and many other equally distinguished persons. Daniel Pratt and Dennis Kearney regretted.

HE was a rough, unkempt scholar;

While she was fastidious quite;

He spoke in all tongues, - but his collar

Was - well - hardly the whitest of white.

"I soon go to Mycenae and Assos,"

Said he, with exuberance of joy,

Said she, "On your way down to Assos,

Pray leave, sir, your linen at Troy."

TO THE PHOTOGRAPHER.

HURRY, do! I can't sit quiet.

These iron knobs behind my head

Feel like telegraphic buttons.

Hurry up! I'm almost dead.

Look more pleasant? Nay, I cannot,

While the camera doth stare,

Like old Cyclops, broadly at me, -

Shoot! - and quickly - is my prayer.

DR. PEABODY and his family will go abroad in the spring, and his house is to be let. Prayers, however, will not be suspended.

AT a meeting of the Base Ball Club held Monday night, Captain Coolidge said that he should insist upon more thorough training by the Nine, and that in April he intended to have the men walk in the morning instead of going to prayers.

A RECEPTION will be given to the chorus and actors of the Greek Play next Saturday evening. Other receptions will be given on the following Saturdays by Professor Norton, Mr. G. L. Osgood, and other gentlemen interested in the play.

FOOTBALL. - Interesting game in which eleven men try to kick the shins off eleven other men; failing in this, necks, ribs, and limbs are broken with impunity. The "boss" game takes place every Thanksgiving Day between eleven tramps from Yale and an equal number from Princeton. Twenty-two men retire from the conflict covered with wounds and glory. Much lying done as to why and how this match is lost and won. See Yale, Princeton, &c. - Columbiad.

THE Orient has begun a series of "Bowdoin Stories," one of which is worthy of reproduction: -

"Dr. C. told me a story the other day," Percy observed, trimming his pipe, "that pleased me a good deal. Dr. C. roomed on the south-west corner of Maine Hall, and had a very sunny place. Gray, who was just across the entry, came in one day with a lot of pears not quite ripe, and asked to leave them in C.'s windows to ripen. A few mornings after, Professor Packard called on C. to ask something about a library book. After he had done his errand, the old gentleman walked up to the window, and began to examine the fruit. 'Very fine pears,' he said, 'it is a variety rare about here, too.' 'They look first rate,' Doc. answered, 'though I've not tasted them yet.' 'You'll find them very good, I assure you,' Father Packard observed blandly, as he moved toward the door. 'Very good indeed. I took great pains with that graft! Good-day.' And poor C. never had a chance to explain that he wasn't the man who purloined them!"

THE latest news from New Haven is that Yale men offer three to one on their Nine against ours.

WEEK-DAY Lenten services are more numerous in Cambridge this year than last. The following is the list at Christ Church (until Holy Week): Mondays and Wednesdays at 9 A.M., Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4.30 P.M., Fridays at 7.30 P.M. At the Friday service there will be a lecture; at the other services a short address or reading. At St. John's Church a shortened service is held daily at 8 A.M. Students may by petition attend this during Lent instead of the College Prayers. Evening prayer is said at 5 P.M., and is followed on Fridays by a lecture. The St. Paul's Society holds daily services - except on Saturday and Wednesday - at 5.30 P.M., at 17 Grays.

THE place of honor in The Art Amateur for March is occupied by Frederick A. Bridgman, whose genius and industry have won him, at the early age of thirty-three, a high repute in two hemispheres. An entertaining sketch of the artist by Edward Strahan, a fellow-pupil in the atelier of Gerome, is illustrated by a portrait and a number of drawings by the artist; while the frontispiece, drawn by Camille Piton, represents Bridgman's "Lady of Cairo Visiting." A special feature of the number is Caryl Florio's long review of "Billee Taylor," the new English comic opera, giving the vocal score of the four principal songs, some of which are likely to become as popular as the airs of "Pinafore." There is also a page of sketches of the leading characters in the opera, drawn by Geo. R. Halm.

THE Spring Examinations for Freshmen have been set for the following days: Thursday, March 31, Trigonometry; Friday, April 1, Greek; Saturday, 2nd, Latin; Monday, April 3, Physics; Tuesday, 4th, German. These examinations are intended to be only "pass examinations;" that is, students are required to show that they have kept up with the term's work, and the marks, if any are given, will not affect the year's mark, unless much below 50 per cent. If the student gets below 50 per cent, he will probably be warned.
