Fact and Rumor.

The subject of the Yale-Princeton debate has been submitted by Yale as follows: "Resolved, that the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been justified."

Houghton, Mifflin & Co. have announced a book by Professor Munsterberg, which contains a number of essays on "American traits," with the sub-title "From the Point of View of a German." It is to appear at the end of the month.

The College Library has lately received from Dr. S. A. Green, Librarian of the Massachusetts Historical Society, a copy of Virgil "ad usum Delphini," printed in London in 1:40, which has served four generations of Harvard graduates as a text book; it bears the school-boy autographs of its last three owners, while the name of the first owner has been written by another, presumably by his father. The successive users of the book were Joshua Green, of the Class of 1749, his son Joshua, of the class of 1784, his grandson Joshua, of the class of 1818, and his great granoson Samuel Abbott Green, of the class of 1851, who has given it to the library.
