Prof. "Why is it Unit in summer tho
days arc so much longer than in winter?"
Apt pupil "Simply enough, sir. The
sun is nitturtilly pcripathetic; in summer
perspiration oils his limbs and he slides
through nicely, making the days long;
but in winter he has to thaw his way
through, and consequently the whole ques
tion may be reduced to a comparative an
alysis of the rotary or migratory powers
of heat and cold."
Prof, wonders if ho ever heard that so
lution before. Ex.
A certain Professor habitually called
upon the" class in alphabetical order. One
of the Professors, surprised at the uniform
excellence of the recitations in this de
partment, suggested that he should some
times begin the recitations with the other
end of the class, and then note the result
The suggestion was adopted; and accord,
ingly the next time the class met, the fol
lowing announcement was made: "Gentle,
men, 1 have usually called for recitations
in alphabetical order. It has been sug.
gested thut I sometimes reverse tho order,
and therefore you will take notice that af
ter to-day 1 shall begin with the othur end
of the class. Ex."
A private letter from one of the pro
fessors at an eastern college contains the
following information of interest:
"You ask mo what about the Freshmen
of thisyearV They are indeed a most
satisfactory lot rarely Iikvo I seen liner.
In average bcholarship they may perhaps
fall a little below the average ot previous
years, say, from 70 to 75 per cent, under
it, but the class averages two and one
eighth inches chest measure, and at least
one inch around the arm more than any
of its predecessors. No wonder that our
President's heart is filled with pride. The
Chair of Divinity will not beestablishcd
this year, as tho money will be needed for
a new boat house." Ex.
