Caliopean Society, which has existed since about
tie time of John c. Calhouns college-days, and
which wa composed chiefly of Southern students,
is given up, aud all the students belong to the
Brothers or LinOnan. They have just got into
their new rooms, and splendid rooms they are.
The carpets curtains, paintings, gas-ixtures, &c.
of the Brothers Hall cost about S2,5OO. Tney

literary exercises They formerly met in private
balls hired for the purpose but have now got into
College quarters, and are recognized by the Fac
ulty as part of College exercises. Part of the
studies the morning following the society meetings
are RENTED. These Societies have large libraries.
The Brothers Society has over 1900 volumes.
