This is the way a West Pointer informed his parents that he had been rusticated: "My dear father: - Fatted calf for one. Yours affectionately, George." - [Ex.

The Yale News, speaking of the general satisfaction felt in Cambridge over the result of our game with Yale, says: "Restrain yourselves, ye men of Harvard, lest your joy be turned to grief after the second game."

The following from the N. Y. Tribune relative to Emerson's career at Harvard will doubtless serve as a solace to many: "It is recorded that, like many students subsequently distinguished, his collegiate rank was not a high one."

It has been decided to introduce Saturday forenoon recitations next term, so that two three-hour studies may come at the same hour during the week. This measure is merely an experiment, and is taken to obviate, as far as possible, the necessity of afternoon recitations. The Saturday recitations are intended to be optional as far as practicable. - [Cornell Sun.

The Cornell Era in a recent editorial speaks of a matter which will perhaps prove of interest, in view of the fact that the chief care at present is to have the new suit resemble as little as possible an apoplectic fit: "We have hitherto confined our attention to college affairs. But within the past ten days an affair has happened which, although small in itself, yet involves a principle which is of no small moment. We allude to the action of a well-known firm in this place in bringing suit against one of the students who refused to take a suit of clothes which did not fit him. That it was a misfit there is not a particle of doubt. But our worthy shop-keepers, strong in the consciousness that they have Ithaca justice on their side, determine that he shall take it, suited or not. On application to a lawyer it is found that a student, when making a bargain for a suit, must specify at the time that he shall not take it unless it fits, otherwise the worthy tailor can bulldoze him into taking it. Let the students be on their guard. We had lived until now in the vain hallucination that such a thing was always implied, but we have been wofully mistaken. Lest any of you may be compelled to take a suit from this mammoth establishment which would fit a person perhaps half your size, or twice your height, be sure to make this stipulation, that the suit shall be a fit. Of course this may be a slight trouble, but not half so much as a law-suit. To be sure, most stores guarantee a fit and thus save trouble. Perhaps most of the students would prefer not to patronize such a store. Well, of course they are at liberty to do as they please."
