The Junior Ball at Columbia.

Considerable interest is shown at Columbia College at present in the prospective junior ball, announced for December twenty-first. This reception is honored in most American colleges but not until this year has it been proposed at this institution. The committee, consisting of Messrs. Gildersleeve, Coudert, Gerard and Reeve, have obtained permission of the faculty to use the library building on this occasion. Instructors are cordially co-operating with the committee of arrangements in their endeavors. All Columbia students are invited to attend, and a great success is predicted.
