OUR EXCHANGES.

THE English universities, which, a short time ago, were all excitement about the "Eights," are agitated now by "School" and "Tripos." The Undergraduates' Journal says:-

"Boating men have been unpleasantly startled of late by receiving intimations from H. M. collectors of customs, or some such officials, that a license must be taken out before they are entitled to wear a Cardinal's Hat, or an Eagle, or any other heraldic device on their boating jackets. It seems strange that such a claim, if a just one, has not been made before, or at least that Undergraduates have not been apprised by their college authorities of the risk they run in wearing the Boat Club uniform."

The plain white flannel of our University crew is safe, we hope, from the attacks of the authorities. Let us run no "risk."

The following advertisement from the same paper may prove refreshing to those who have now to grind under circumstances less favorable than those it mentions.

GENTLEMEN OF BOTH UNIVERSITIES - Are prepared for the various PASS and other EXAMINATIONS by the REV. R. C. HESLOP, M. A., Oxon., assisted by the REV. J. WHARTON, M. A., Oxon. (First Class in Classical Moderations), and others.

Beautiful Country, close to the lakes; good grouse-shooting, c moderate terms. - Augill Castle, Brough, Penrith.

YALE and Princeton played the second game in their series last Tuesday, and the Record says:-

"The Princeton men played under disadvantages in not being accustomed to level ground and feeling strange in the presence of gentlemen. They could not have failed to notice the contrast between our treatment of their Nine and their treatment of ours. Their fine plays, when discoverable, were received with as great applause as were those of our own Nine, and they received that courtesy always due to strangers."

Comments are unnecessary, for the Nassau Lit. declares, "We dare not indulge the hope to find the average Yale man a gentleman under any circumstances."

THE College Argus says:-

"Probably never before in the history of boating, at Wesleyan, have we had such an even crew, and a crew that had made so much visible progress in style of rowing in so short a time. . . . . We were never more hopeful for success at Saratoga than at present."

The crew is light, but the men are very nearly of the same weight, they are enthusiastic, and the captain is working hard. These circumstances give rise to the hopefulness of the Argus.

THE Westminster Monthly says:-

"While a torrent of abuse is poured out upon us by such degraded and disgraceful sheets as the Yale Record, whose only duty, it appears, is to scandalize and drag down the pure and good, how cheering it is to receive letters like that from which we make the following extract."

Many of our exchanges have not great admiration for the Record, but few have realized its exact purpose as clearly as the Westminster Monthly, - the "pure and good."
