 da}' of the session, and short excursions to localities of geological 

 interest were taken in the afternoon. This course was attended by 

 fifteen students, of whom ten are students in the University.

 ferences have been announced in the College Calendar. Outside of the 

 papers presented by members of the University, one was read by Mr. 

 Warren Upham relating to a theory of the origin of Drumlins.
