If the typo hadn't badly blundered, it would have read rheturical aud been understaudable. - At the regular meeting of the Students' Scientiflc Society held on Saturday last, papers were read by O. C. Simonds, on " graphy ; by Henry S. Farsons, on the " Production of Alcohohc Liquors ; " and by V. C. Vaughán, on the " Stemum of the Goose." Mr. F. H.

Neither Worcester, Webster, nor Soule & Wheeler hint, even, at any other pronunciation than -er-a-ture, the "u" long, and the accent ou the ürst syllable. It is not probable that men of such rare attaiuments, wheu speaking upon literary topics, speak unadvisedly. We, therefore, ask seriously for information." - The junior8 (according to the Chronicle) have petitioned Dr. Cocker to have his notes on metaphysics printed, the labor of copying being too great. Wouldn't it be gratifyuig to the 8tudents to have the professors furnish each one with an amanuensis, to do their readiug, writing, and reciting; bo that they (the studente) could devote more of their time to nobler employments: batting, boating, billiards, bunimiug. Seriously, taking notas and writing them out is the very drill the student needs, and is an invaluable aid in making his own what the lecturer collates not simply for his hearing. - The Boston Pliilharincmic Ulub, whose entertainment in Uuiversity Hali last June gave such excellent enjoyraent, will give an instrumental and vocal concert in Umversity Hall, Thursday Evening, March 2d, under the auspices of the Leeture Association.
