The Greek governtnent offered the American school at Athenn the exclusive privilege of making excavations on the site of ancient Delphi. It is considered a great thing. The privaUs owners of Delphi, too, think it a great thing, and won't sell out for less than $150,000. It's better than a natural gas well for them. About $45,000 have already been raised by the school for tbia project. Prof. Geo. W. Knight, of the Ohio Univeraity at Columbus, ()., talled at The Register office last week, and in a chatty way told many interesting thing8 about that educational institution. All the Ohio state institutions are centered in Columbus. The expense of lighting them is of course great. They now have a écheme which will reduce the expense and which at the same time will afford the Ohio Univereity the best practical facilities for teaching electrical engineering of any institution in the world. The idea is to have all the state institutions lighted by electridty from one source, and have that pourre on the grounds of the University under the charge of the professor of physics. Itwould be a üne thing for the atadBtS of electrical engineering.

The New York Mail and Express calis it " iconodasm" in speaking of the shameful conduct of some Yale students in overturning and breaking the statue of Prof. Silliman. Wonder what it would cali the act of daubing Ben. Fraokrin'a statue wlth yellow paintt Two fellowship are nnw offered by Oberlin to alumni wishing to pursue advaneed studies. They will furnish Ï500 for one year to one lady and one gentleman. This is the beginning of a system which the college will extend as fast as possible. The following is said to be an invariable formula in the morning chapel prayer of a professor in a Western college.
