Vanderbilt University.

The new term opened February 1. A series of lectures on economic and constitutional history has been begun by E. W. Bemis, Ph. D., professor in Johns Hopkins University, and will be continued throughout the term. A new physical laboratory has been fitted up and placed under the charge of Professor John Daniel, late of Johns Hopkins. This is a new feature in the history of the institution, and supplies what has long been pressing. Preparations are already being made to receive the delegates of the American Educational Association, which is to hold its next meeting in Nashville, early in July.
