The proof-sheets of the catalogue give the following summary of the number of law students: Third year, 19; second year, 38; first year, 57; specials, 19; total number, 132. The number 19, with its multiples in regular order, appears very curiously.

The Princetonian having published a personal item plainly reflecting on a member of the class of '84, about two-thirds of that class have withdrawn their subscriptions from that paper. It is expected, however, that some fair compromise will be made.
