The trustees of Dartmouth College have practically decided upon a Law School in connection with that institution, at an early date, and have concluded to invite ex-Judge William S.

The Museum of Comparative Zoology will soon welcome back its head, Alexander Agassiz, from his trip to India. Prof. Agassiz has lately been examining the great aquarium at Naples with a view to the introduction of water into the laboratories of the museum, the new wing of which was built with his own money mostly, and on plans providing for an aquarium. Professor Agassiz's outlay from his own fortune on this institution has not been less than $350,000.

At the meeting of students at Columbia on Saturday to discuss the question of athletic regulations the following colleges were represented : Harvard, Princeton, Lafayette, Williams, Rutgers, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, Stevens Institute, St. John's College and Columbia College. Our delegates were Burr and Sexton, '84. There were about 50 delegates present. J. M. Wainwright of Col. presided. Resolutions were adopted declaring that it was the sense of the meeting that the recent action of the committees appointed by the various college faculties in drawing up a series of resolutions regarding athletics was unnecessary and inexpedient ; that no abuses existed in inter-collegiate athletics that could not be corrected by the students themselves ; that the students of the various colleges ought to have full control of the details of athletics, and that the faculty ought to interfere only negatively to prevent neglect of college duties.
