Farewell of an A. B.

I LEAVE thee, fair Harvard, how full of regret,

Since the days that were spent with thee die;

O, better, forsooth, had we two never met

If now I must leave with a sigh.

As a youth who, at dawn, through the meadows is roaming,

And meets there his love-chosen lass, -

As he, too, must leave her at fall of the gloaming,

So, fair Harvard, I've met thee - and pass.

CENTENNIAL Hymn by the Glee Club to-night, in the Yard.

THE annual concert of the Glee Club and Pierian Sodality took place in Lyceum last night, and was successful in every respect.

THE Baccalaureate sermon was preached by Dr. Peabody in the Chapel last Sunday afternoon. About two thirds of the class were present.

SENIORS are reminded that the first instalment of the Class Fund is due on or before Commencement, and the Secretary requests that it be promptly paid.

THE prize for the winning college at Springfield will be a set of silk colors. Each member of the winning crew will be presented with a silver oar, nine inches long, as a memento of the occasion.

MEMBERS of the Senior Class who desire to have the Crimson sent them next year are requested to give their names to one of the present editors or leave them at Sever's before Commencement.

HIGHEST honors in Philosophy have been awarded to H. T. Finck; honors to Lefavour, Marcou, Stimson, and Thwing.

No honors in Classics have been given this year.

LISTS of the books required for those who wish to take anticipatory examinations in the different classes will not be ready until the summer. All who wish to get them can write for them to the College Secretary any time during the summer.

THE Athenaeum held its annual supper at the Parker House last evening, which passed off very enjoyably. Mr. Moore was president of the evening and Mr. Vinton toast-master. The ode by Mr. Morse, the oration by Mr. Tufts, and the poem by Mr. Blodgett, were all highly successful.

ALL students rooming in College who occupy ground-floor rooms which do not face on the Yard, are warned to be particularly careful to lock their windows on Class-Day evening. This precaution is absolutely necessary, both in the protection of their own property and for rendering the roping in of the Yard effectual.

COMMENCEMENT parts probably will be assigned as follows: From the Graduating Class Gardiner delivers the Latin Oration, and other parts are given to Marcou, Williams, P. Lowell, Barrows, and A. A. Wheeler. E. Young of the Class of 1873, who is candidate for Ph. D., Salter from the Divinity School, and S. B. Clarke, '74, from the Law School, will each have a part.

THE game yesterday afternoon between the University and a Nine of the Junior Class was won by the latter. Score, 6 to 3.

A RACE for single-sculls had been arranged to take place yesterday between Messrs. Le Moyne, Danforth, and Denton, under the direction of the executive committee of the H. U. B. C., - the winner to go to Saratoga as the representative of the College. The roughness of the water interfered with the plans of the committee, and the race had to be postponed until to-morrow, when it will take place (D. V.) over the Charles River course at ten o'clock.

THE University Nine met the Live Oaks last Wednesday on the Boston grounds for the fourth time this season, and were defeated by them for the third time. The game was one of considerable interest, for both Nines did well at the bat and in the field. The Live Oaks made fourteen base-hits from Ernst's pitching, while our men struck out five times. Leeds, as usual, distinguished himself in batting.

The score by innings is as follows:-

Innings. 1st 2d 3d 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th

Live Oaks 0 1 3 2 0 0 0 0 1 - 7

Harvard . 1 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 4

AN account of this University has appeared in "Scribner's" for July, which is decidedly interesting. Not every thing here pleases Mr. Scudder, the author, for he shakes his head mournfully when he speaks of "indifference," and is somewhat pessimistic as he dilates upon the evils of "coaching." Amongst the illustrations we find one representing Gore Hall as it will appear when the extension is completed.

EARNEST aspirants to exhibit their knowledge of the teachings of Messrs. Locke, Spinoza, Descartes, etc., were grievously disappointed yesterday morning, upon assembling at Memorial Hall, and finding no intellectual feast, in the way of an examination paper, prepared for them. We understand that the cause of the delay in the examination was that the instructor, who should have been on hand at nine o'clock, wearied himself exceedingly in pointing out, the evening before, the utter want of practicability in the instructor who, a few weeks ago, forgot the hour at which his examination began. So wearied grew our philosopher with his metaphysical argument, that he was really unable to appear the next morning until ten o'clock.
