H. W. TUPPER, for Pach Bros.There are now forty-eight lady students in the Harvard Annex, and it is the testimony of some of the Harvard professors that the average scholarship of the classes in the Annex is above that of the classes in the college. Over fifty courses are open to the pupils, and of these, Greek, Latin, English, German and mathematics attract the largest numbers. This year, thirty-five out of the forty-eight ladies have chosen Greek electives.

In return, the Annex has sent a graduate to Montana as head of a classical school. [Gazette.
