The Harvard Engineering Society, a society open to all members of the University interested in engineering, aims to hold two meetings each month. One of them is generally addressed by some prominent engineer, and the other is for the discussion of engineering subjects by the students themselves.

A new scheme has recently been devised for supplying subjects for the student meetings. Printed forms accompanied by blank forms are sent out to various members of the society at the beginning of each month, asking them to look through some specified journal and fill out blank forms with lists of the most important articles appearing in the journals for the month. These lists are returned at the end of the month, looked over by the librarian and the executive committee, and posted in the L. S. S. reading room. From five to ten subjects are selected from these lists, and a corresponding number of students are asked to work up these subjects into proper form for presentation before the society as five to fifteen minute papers which shall give all the important parts of the original articles.

Chess Club.J. F. Barry, champion of the Boston Chess Club, will attend the Harvard Chess Club's next meeting on Tuesday evening and play simultaneous games with several of the members. The chess club has challenged the Boston Press Club to a team match on Tuesday, February 12. A match was held last year with this club, and resulted in the Harvard club's favor by a score of five games to four. It is also intended to arrange a match with the Boston Chess Club.
