WOMAN. And when a lady’s in the case, Yon know all other things give place. The Hare and Many Friends.—J. Gay. O woman! lovely woman! nature made thee To temper man; we had been brutes without you. Angels are painted fair to look like you : There’s in you all that we believe of heaven; Amazing brightness, purity and truth. Eternal joy and everlasting love. Venice Preserved, Act I, Sc. 1.—T. Otway. From woman’s eyes this doctrine I derive They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; They are the looks, the acts, the academies. That show, contain and nourish all the world. Love's Labor Lost, Act IV, Sc. 3.—Shakespere. INTERMEDIATE EXAMINATIONS. Last Wednesday a certain Professor held an in termediate examination, called a “ Written Review/^ but nevertheless an examination. JNow there was considerable discussion among the Faculty last year as to the advisability of doing away with in termediates and making the term standing count for its full value. It was held (and experience teaches us such is the true case) that intermedi ates make the student neglect his other reci tations during such examination. After due (ionsideration the Facailty decided to abolish all intermediates and substitute a final examyiation in the middle of the Spring Term. Notwithstand ing, this Professor gives an intermediate in the fall and one again this spring and defends his position l)y saying “ that if the Faculty know how to manage my class better than I do, they) they’ll have to teach it.” Now We think that the class as a whole wanted the examination as it was likely to help their grades; but we do not think that any Professor, however influential he may be, has any right to break witli impunity the law^s which he himself has helped to make. How can the Faculty expect the students to obey their laws when they themselves break them? If each Profes.sor knows how to man age the University better than the Faculty as a whole, yea, verily, we are in a bad road. If one Professor can have his own way against the law of the Faculty and another cannot, we are surprised that there are not more of the Professors at sixes and sevens. It is thus that our ^‘Faculty rules” become meaningless mush and are held in contempt by the students. A few well considered, suitable rule.s, but ones which are “ unchangeai)le and altereth not,’’ will be of far more service than a thousand of picayune bosh, which are despised by Professors and students alike. We think the rule concerning intermedialcs a good one and it should be enforced. “Pleuf.” Sir Bedivere, a handsome St. Bernard dog, weighing 220 pounds, arrived in New York on the Umbria, on Monday. He attracted a great deal of attention on his way over here, and still more on his arrived in New York. Sir Bedivere is English by birth, and so po])nlar is he in his native land that a perfect storm of indignation arose in the breasts of the British public when it was learned that he intended to make his future home in Bos ton. He will take up his residence with E. B. Sears, the millionaire fur merchant of 39 Summer street, Boston, and for the privilege of having Sir Bedivere as his constant guest Mr. Sears paid the sum of $6,900. THE FRENCH OET DELPHI. The Archaeological Institute of America is over whelmed with sorrow. Delphi, upon the explora tion of which so many hopeful calculations were based, has slipped away from the Institute, and the privilege of excavation and exploration has been given to the French. With Olympus disposed of to the Germans, Delphi was the chief remaining attraction for the archaeologists. Buried beneath the accumulated mold and dirt of centuries are believed to lie con cealed some of the richest examples of ancient sculpture and bronze work. Anxious to distin guish their respective countries and themselves, the American and French societies applied to the Grecian government for the privilege to explore the hill. Unfortunately, the French application was first to be received, and the precedence thus obtained stood it in good stead at the last moment. The Greek government stated the terms upon which the concession would be granted. On the crown of the hill was Kastri, a poor village of 300 houses. To remove the village would cost 400,- OOOf., it was said, and before the privilege would be given this sum must be deposited in Athens. The French dallied with the [)roposition until it seemed as if they had lost their chance. Then Tricoupis, the Greek Premier, told Dr. Charles Waldstein, tlie American representative, that if the specified sum was deposited within a certain time the privilege would be given to the Archaeo logical Institute of America. Delyannis, the suc cessor of Premier Tripoupis, extended the period to November 18 last. On November 15, Presi dent Low of Columbia College, President also of the Archaeological Institute, telegra})hed Dr. Wald stein to close the contract, the money having been subscribed. Great was the elation of the Ameri cans. But then tlie French put in their claim for pre cedence, and tlie facts appearing that they had not forfeited their right. President Low cabled Dr. Waldstein to withdraw the American claim, and it was done. The French have made good their right to the work of exploration, and the last prospect that the task would fall to the American society lias disappeared. Of the $80,000 subscribed for tlie fund only about $500 was ever paid in, and this has been given by the contributor to the gen eral fund of the Institute.—New York Times. What, attraction has Durham for ‘‘handsome Felix Harvey?” We would like to know. Prof, to student—“Pugh, that is too much.” We would say that the word really means too little. Barnard, our great foot-ball player, says the college wit, is the only man in the University who can put the ball in his mouth and block otf with both hands. The Phi. Society has held the Inter-Society De bate medal for two consecutive times. The Di. debaters will put forward their best arguments in March, we hear. “I think,” said the editor in a worried tone, “that I will drop journalism and take to astron omy.” “Why?” “ Well, astronomy always seems to have more space than they know what to do with.”—Ex.
