EXCHANGES.

THE Columbia Spectator has been publishing a series of articles on college colors, and from the summary at the end we clip the following: Amherst, white and purple; Bowdoin, white; Brown, brown; Columbia, blue and white; Cornell, carnelian; Dartmouth, green; Harvard, crimson; New York, University of, violet; Pennsylvania, University of, blue and red; Princeton, orange; Rutgers, scarlet; Trinity, white and green; Tufts, blue and brown; Union, (magenta) or garnet; Wesleyan, lavender; Williams, royal purple; Yale, blue.

THE Cornell Era states that carnelian is only half the truth, but does not supply the missing half. Cornell's colors, if we are rightly informed, are carnelian and white.

"'A place for everything, and everything in its place.' A man at Yale nails his slippers on the wall four feet up, and then all he has to do of an evening is to wheel up his easy-chair in front of them and pull out his meerschaum." - Amherst Student.

AT the meeting of the Philosophical Club, Monday evening, Mr. Francis E. Abbot, the editor of the Index, gave a lecture on "Philosophy the Guide of Life."

REV. LEIGHTON PARKS, rector of Emanuel Church, Boston, will preach before the St. Paul's Society on Monday evening, March 8, at Christ Church. Service begins at 7 30. All are invited.

ALTHOUGH most of the members of Natural History 4 have voluntary recitations, yet the room is so crowded that some have to stand up during the lecture. The professor has asked the College for chairs to place in the aisles, but so far none have been furnished.

THERE is a conflict between the third lecture in the Finance Club course and the first in that of the Natural History Society, both, as the date now stands, to be given on the 11th. As a large number wish to attend both lectures, it is hoped that a change will be made in the date.

THE Harvard Rifle Club had a meeting Tuesday night, and elected the following officers: President and Captain, C. A. Coolidge, '81; Secretary and Treasurer, G. C. Buell, '82; Field-Marshal, C. C. Foster, '80. The first match will be next Wednesday, and any wishing to join the club can do so by applying to the Secretary.

ON the Honors List of the University of London's matriculation examination the first name is that of a young lady; and at Cambridge another young lady, Miss Scott, answered papers set for the mathematical tripos in a manner that would entitle her to the eighth place on the list of wranglers.

THERE are numerous curiosities to be seen in the public exhibition-room of the Library. It is reached by the iron staircase behind the catalogue. There are illuminated Books of Hours, old calendars, Hebrew MSS., chained monastic MSS., and other objects of interest, which are well worth a visit.

AT their meeting of Monday last, the class of '82 voted to have a supper Wednesday, March 10. Messrs. F. M. Stone, Waring, and Storer were appointed an executive committee; Mr. Pendleton, chorister; Mr. Foster, poet; Mr. Panin, orator; Mr. Edgerly, toast-master; and Messrs. Pendleton, Wister, and Burton, a committee to prepare the class songs.

THE Sophomore class supper will be given at Young's Hotel, Wednesday, March 10, at 7.30 P. M. The price per plate will be $3.00, - subscriptions to be paid at Bartlett's before 6 P. M., Tuesday. All are requested to be punctual, and those who wish to sit together can bracket their names.

THE last of the Symphony Concerts by the Philharmonic Orchestra will be given, March 10, in Sanders Theatre. The orchestra, which has been increased in numbers for this occasion, will be assisted by Miss May Bryant and Mr. W. H. Sherwood. The new "Spring Symphony," by Professor J. K. Paine, will be rendered for the first time, - a fact that ought to bring out a large audience.

IN 1755, John Winthrop was a professor of Physics and Astronomy in Harvard College. He was very well known, during the latter part of the last century, by several works on astronomy, which may be found among the publications of the Royal Society, of which he was a Fellow. He made the best observation of the transit of Venus taken during the eighteenth century. He also published some books on earthquakes. A short time ago a certain professor had the curiosity to ask all the professors here whether they knew anything of this once celebrated John Winthrop. Only two had ever heard of him.
