OUR HERALDRY CLUB.

A SHORT time ago, several of us started a Heraldry Club, and, as a first step in the formation of the Club, each one described such a coat of arms as was most pleasing to his taste. The Club never advanced beyond this first step, but a report of their proceedings at the first and only meeting they ever had may be interesting. After calling the meeting to order, the President asked the Boating-man for his coat of arms. "Well, Mr. President, I would put on a navy-blue field two eight-oared shells; in the fore-ground one with a crimson-shirted coxswain, and away off in the distance, just visible, the other boat with a blue-shirted coxswain. I should have for supports, two big subscription-books with 'Paid' written on them; and for a motto nine big Harvard 'Rahs.' There, Mr. President, that's about my size." This coat of arms was received with tumultuous cheers. When order was restored, the President called on the Swell man. "Mr. President - aw - I have thrown together - aw - a few ideas, which I 'll read - aw - On the shield - aw - I would have Cupid - aw - on a golden field - aw - handing me his bow and arrows - aw - For braces - aw - pardon me, supports, I - aw - would have on one side - aw - the governor holding out his purse to me, and - aw - on the other a tandem, a tiger, and a dogcart with my monogram on the side - aw - For a motto, 'L'argent et I'amour sans travail.'"

The President now said that as the Dig was prevented from attending on account of study, he would read the Dig's coat of arms for him. "Mr. President, I would have on my shield a representation of Commencement Day, and I should be delivering the best speech given for years; on one side, supporting the shield, would be a degree, summa cum laude; on the other, the President handing me a tutorship in Greek; for a motto, 'Conquer the Greek particle or die.'"

This coat of arms was greeted with jeers, and it was suggested he had better go and paste a piece of paper over himself.

The Base-ball man was now called on, and he said: "Mr. President, I would have my shield in the shape of a diamond, one half blue and one half crimson; on these fields, I would have a few of our victories painted, such as 16 to 3, 9 to 4, c for supports, a fat subscription-book and a complimentary degree; for a motto, The Crimson for ever.'"

The last man called on before the meeting adjourned was the Literary man. "On the shield, Mr. President, I would have a large volcano, called H. U.; out of the mouth of the volcano would be flying plank walks, scholarships free to all, voluntary chapel, and smashed marking systems. The powerful force within the volcano would be called the Crimson. For supports, I would have on one side a large pile of contributions, and on the other a long subscription-list. For a motto, 'Let that be supported which supports us all.'"
