College Notes.

pr. BarDour preached inc discourse yes terday morning from James 14, 15. In the afternoon the regular monthly commun- ion service was held and number of persons were admitted by letter into membership of the College church.
 The geological excursion to Savin Rock announced for Saturday afternoon was post poned on account of the rain. Prof. Dana and one scientific student were on hand at the appointed place of meeting and the latter was disappointed because the Professor would not go Three successive Saturdays have been stormy and on that account have inter fered with the excursions. Quite number of the students are anxious to make the trip to Mt. Carmel and Savin Rock, and it is to be hoped that Prof. Dana will decide to go to both places.
 The Potpoup1j will be out Saturday morn ing. It had been promised flor Wednesday, but the printers are behind in their work, hence the delay.
 Some of the students are expressing dis satisfaction because the college Garfield and Arthur regiment has made no out of town parades. The regiment was invited to pa rade in New Britain, Meriden, Hartford and Bridgeport, and preparations were made to entertain the students in at least two of these cities. It seems as though at least hundred or more of the students might have attended these parades, and they would have been well received. On Wednesday evening there will be State parade in Hartford, and general invitation has been extended to all organizations to take part. Here is chance for the Yale regiment to make an out of town parade, and it is the last opportunity offered. It certainly seems as though Yale should be represented by at least one company.
 The handle to the new pump near the lab oratory is broken off close to the woodwork. It is night time to have it repaired, as it has been in this condition for some days.
 MT. Pach's operators are finding considera- ble fault, and justly too, because the seniors do not come to time. For three successive days no one presented himself for sitting This is certainly great wrong to MT. Each and his men. The class voted to have Mir. Pach open his studio October 10th, and mem bers should now keep him busy. Those that present themselves now are surer of receiv- ing satisfactory work than those who wait till
 
 have men here doing nothing, and it is the duty of every senior who can to have his pictures taken now.
 An important change has been made at Harvard in the section of the regulations re- lating to attendance at recitations. Hereto fore the privilege of voluntary attendance has been limited to seniors and juniors; by the new rule all classes are put upon an equal footing so far regards attendance at recita- tions.
 The second concert of tLis term occurred at Bethany last evening. The exercises con- sisted of responsive readings, singing and re- citations.
 The last Amherst Student says: ''Yale didn't come any of her little games over us this time."
 A meeting of the rifle club called for last Friday evening, but owing to the fact that the notice was not well circulated, only a portion of the club was present and the meeting was postponed till this evening at seven It will be held in Mo- South col lege.
