The respondent to the toast "The Boston Alumni," at the Yale dinner said: "Some of the worthy women of Boston have high esteem of Harvard, and if one chances to have married a Yale man, after he has been to one of these dinners, he quietly airs his clothes, says little about it, and passes it over as smoothly as possible. They think Yale is a little rough and the only perfect man is a Harvard graduate."
A Jacksonville, Florida, paper says a colony of Harvard students, seven in number, and two outsiders, are projecting a settlement in that State and expect to obtain a charter for that purpose. The representative of the proposed company, who is looking for a site, is Mr. Charles W. Luck, Harvard, '82, who left Jacksonville a few weeks since and went up the river in search of a spot upon which to locate the company. The colony will consist of nine Harvard men, three of whom are from '82. It has been decided to settle in Gautemala, in order to raise sugar, together with a few of the more profitable drugs.
