THE WIND.

THE wind's low rustling through the summer leaves

To me is e'er the ceaseless wavelet's sound,

son the shore the sea-weed soft it heaves,

That shore to which my dream-made bark is bound.

Mid leafless ash-hued branches hissing loud

The wind strikes through me, bringing to my mind

Relentlessly this world's cold, striving crowd

Of seekers after wealth, who leave behind,

As sluggard in the race, the dreamer. Moans

The wind at night through tall and stately trees,

With the sweet grandeur of an organ's tones,

It is a choir on humbly bended knees,

That chanteth prayers to God that they may sinless be,

And raise their plaintive "Miserere Domine."

A MEETING of the Freshman Class was held in Upper Massachusetts Hall on Wednesday, at 4.30 P. M., when the following business was transacted:-

The reports of the Secretary of the class, the Captains of the foot-ball eleven and base ball nine, and the Secretary of the crew, were first read and accepted, after which remarks were made by the Captain of the crew, and Mr. Weld, '76, urging the great need of additional and liberal subscriptions to both the Freshman and University crews, and also proposing that a committee of five be appointed to manage the interests of the Freshman crew. Messrs. Welles, Mulligan, Van Rensselaer, Wright, and Crocker were appointed.

A resolution was made to the effect that the class directors be requested to have immediate action taken for the improvement of the fare at Memorial Hall.

The following class officers were then reelected: President, E. B. Putnam; Secretary, E. Hale; Captain of the crew, J. W. Welles. Mr. A. Crocker was elected Secretary of the crew.

At this point the meeting was indefinitely postponed on account of darkness.
