Harvard's prospects for rowing a good race at New London next spring look decidedly brighter now than they did a few weeks ago. Then it was announced in the Boston papers that "the university eight consisted of six sophomores." Yesterday, Hudgens, '84, one of the strongest men in the 'Varsity last spring, signified his intention of becoming a candidate for this year's crew.

A long vacation was voted the president, and our professor of history was made vice-president, and is becoming very popular among the students. Some time ago a party of Harvard men came to Wellesley to visit the college, and were shown over the building by this same lady, whom they mistook for a student, and conducted themselves accordingly; but they soon found out their mistake, and left somewhat chagrined.
