THE Pi Eta "shingle" of the class of '76 is a novelty in society shingles in this country; it is of cluny ware, designed and made by J. Rogers Rich of Boston; and in appropriateness and beauty rivals the best of the other College society shingles.

FROM an Examination Book on Sophocles' Antigone we obtain the following translation of verses 944 - 954.

The form of fair Danae

Forgot day's holy light,

Enclosed in brazen prisons,

Away from mortal sight.

Locked in a tomb-like chamber,

From mortals she was hid,

And yet, the noblest of her race,

She cherished Jove's gold seed.

How fearful is thy power,

O fate who rulest all!

Not strength of man, nor war, nor tower

Can e'er shake off thy thrall;

Nor can the great, black vessels,

That plough the rolling sea,

Escape from thy dread power,

And from thy sway go free.

IT is proposed to give over the Boat-House property to the College. The College then agrees to pay off the mortgage on the Boat House, and to provide the building, up stairs, with some 200 lockers, five shower-baths, a bathing-room, and a reading-room. In order to carry out this plan, some $3,500 will need to be expended. A further sum of $1.50 will be needed from each member of the Clubs, in order to pay the interest on this money.

THE annual meeting of the Fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa for the election of officers and the transaction of other business will be held in the West Lecture-Room of Boylston Hall on Thursday, July 1, at 10 A. M. The Orator of the Day will be Rev. DR. T. D. WOOLSEY, Ex-President of Yale University, and the Poet, Rev. WALTER MITCHELL, Hv. '46, of Middletown, Conn. The public are cordially invited to the exercises in Appleton Chapel. Doors open at 12 M. Tickets for the dinner will be ready at the University Book Store on Class-Day morning.
