THE Acta Columbiana has several Harvard items, among others a list of "those trying for the Sophomore Crew," and something about substitutes on the 'Varsity, distributed among their own locals without any mention of the fact that they don't belong to Columbia. It must astonish Columbia Sophs. to find ten or twelve names of men they don't know down for their class crew.

No wonder that a fine eight can be made, when the Journal publishes a list of thirty-four eights in practice, belonging to the different colleges which compose the University of Cambridge.

THE Yale Lit. is good, but more amusing in such light articles as the "Teatotum Club," or the "Portfolio" department, than in heavier things.

THE Record wants the Freshmen to play the same kind of a "game" with our Freshman Nine, that the Yale University Nine "played" with Princeton; that is, name a date when the Freshman can't play, and then "claim" the game because they (Harvard, '83) don't play it when it suits the Yale nine's pleasure. The Record also replies finally to the Echo's criticism on the Princeton business, by saying that the Echo's charge is not made in good English!

INSTRUCTOR. "Well, what is the color of the leaf?" "I - it is bl - I don't know, sir."
