The operation of launching and housing an eight-oar is at present attended with considerable difficulty, which will be done away with when the bridges are put up.

Professor Goodwin has formally accepted the directorship for next year of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. This will result in his absence from the college next year; therefore his courses in Greek will probably be taught by Professor White, while Professor Dyer and Mr. Croswell will take the latter's place. Some new instructor will then have to be appointed as instructor of Freshman Greek.
