—The Kingston, Canada, Chess Club has elected for the 

 ensuring year W. It. Mingage, President, T. \V. Nash, 

 Vice President, Kobert T. Burns, Secretary and treasurer. 



The death of Ezra Cornell, Esq., the founder and patron 

 of Cornell University, is a serious loss to that institution in 

 more ways than one. The testimonials of regret paid to 

 his memory show a deeply fell regret for the deceased. 



— We take the liberty, without solicitation, to invite all 

 alumni and those having relatives and friends at Tale, to 

 take and read the Yale Ricord. It is a very full and in- 

 teresting compendium and purveyor of college news and 

 current topics, and is edited with an ability which some 

 professed newspapers would be proud to possess and 

 boast of. 



—Yale has organized a natural history society, and at the 

 last meeting several interesting papers were read by the 

 members. The membership at present is rather limited, 

 but it promises to increase rapidly. 



—The budding at Vassal College, 2*. Y., formerly used 

 as a riding-school, Itered so as to accommodate 



i inn, picture, gallery, art studio, laboratory, and 

 gymnasium. 



— A number of Yale, seniors dressed in night-gowns 

 and old hats created quite a sensation reccnty by marching 

 in solemn line trom Durfee to the rooms of several of their 

 classmates. Entering a room, they would range themselves 



, nd SlOg the "Conspirators' chorus" from "La 



Fille do Madame Angot." Their success was great until a 

 tutor appeared upon the scene.

Peincetox College. December 13, 1874. 

 Editou For.nsT anii Stkeam:— 



In my communication of the 10th instant I stated that Messrs. Alex- 

 ander, 'io, and W. B. Butler, Jr., '70, had been elected as delegates to 

 the Convention of Ihe Intercollegiate Rowing Association to be held in 

 New York on the liith of December. The latter of the two named above 

 was elected on the. ground that he was the only one who could leave col- 

 lege at thai time, being exempt from examination on account of illness. 

 But ... fai that the meeting of the convention has been postponed until 

 some lime in January having become known, another meeting of ihe 

 boat club was called to-day, in which the [oani -.- election was declared 

 null and a new one was insulated. MeBSlS. A. Alexander. ,,,. President 

 ot the Princeton College Routine Association, and B. NicoU, '77, Captain 

 of the University Crew, were elected as delegates. Thiugh the change 

 has caused considerable ill feeling, it is generally considered to have been 

 advisable aud strictly necessary, as the president and captain of the clnb 

 should be its natural representatives at the convention, in virtue of their 

 respective ofllces. Qeu.vis.
