Alas for '87's athletics ! The freshmen have been forbidden to come into class-room with knee-pants on.-[News.

The Amherst seniors have voted that the whole class shall graduate with clean shaven faces.

Matters must have reached a desperate state at Princeton, judging from a recent communication in the Princetonian. "One can hardly enter a room where there is a collection of fellows without finding grumbling, in one of its many phases, the main basis of conversation. The faculty, poor prospects for foot ball, base ball and the Glee club, and Princeton hard luck, all come in for their share of abuse."

The faculty of Amherst have placed in the hands of a college "senate" all matters of discipline and order. This senate is composed of four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores and one freshman. The president of the college acts as president of the senate and has the power to veto all its decisions. The question of the college remaining a member of the Inter-collegiate League was laid before the senate on Friday last. The senate decided almost unanimously to allow the college team to enter the intercollegiate contest. President Seelve is satisfied with the way things have gone thus far, and expects to have no further trouble in regard to discipline. The students are well pleased with this innovation.
