"B. D - , CAP."Princeton.- Princeton wants some "uniform hats" like those of the Harvard men.

- The proposition of a letter delivery does not meet with much favor; "to go to the post-office after supper, and wait around until the mail is distributed is such a pleasant duty."

- "The Committee for the Senior Promenade this year are having more difficulty than usual in obtaining subscriptions. While the lack of support is general, the Freshman and Junior classes are noticeably behindhand."

- "Prof. Brewer gave a very interesting lecture, last week, on the different celebrated trotting horses in this country.

Thus Princeton is noted for its blue-blooded Presbyterianism and 'codfish' aristocracy; Harvard for its Cockneyisms; Yale for its sports and fast people; Columbia for its apish English manners; Dartmouth for its country 'greenhorns'; Amherst for its shrewd Yankees; Trinity for its ancient church foundations; Union for its old Knickerbocker aristocracy; Hamilton for Western 'shoddy'; and Cornell for its progressiveness."
