 Mir. E. T. Mclaughlin last night delivered the first lecture in the Phi Beta Kappa course to large audience in Linonia hall. His subject was "Medisval Women," which he handled with great skill and care. MT. Mo- Laughlin took as the best model of culture of womanhood of that time Heloise and told with extreme nicety of her intellectual super iority and her never-ceasing love for Abelard. The lecturer traced the history of Heloise from the age of 16, the time of her first meet ing with the philosopher, until the end of her life in the nunnery. History furnishes no exammple of woman's trust and true love parallel to that of Heloise.
 Yale Kent Club.
 A very full attendance of the Kent club members heard one of the most highly inter- esting debates of the present term last even- ing. The meeting opened at 2 p. m. sharp, with Dr. w. J. O'Sullivan, president, in the chair. After the usual preliminary business had been transacted the interesting feature of the evenings programme was taken up and the following question was debated, s'Re- solved, that the textbook systsm of studying law is superior to the Case system." MT. Gilbert led for the affirmative in very logi- cal and able manner. He was we'll sustained CPOoA0A frmstive. Mir. Hubbard in very conserva- tive and methodic manner led the negative, by MT. Pond. The judges, Messrs. kearns and Longan, decided on the merits of the debaters in favor of the affirmative.
 When the question was thrown open to the house lively debate followed in which Messrs. Fowler, Kellogg, Strong, Matzagada, etc., joined. As this question very highly interested the students in general the debate was very animated.
 Al the next meeting of the Kent club, to be held on Monday evening, December 16, Dean Wayland will give his now very csle- brated address on "Prison Reform" Prof. Wayland's views on this subject are already luoted as authority and have made decided impression on the thinking portion of our legislative bodies. The members of the Kent ,lub are privileged on this occasion to invite , limited number of their friends who may lesire to hear the propositions advanced by Prof. WsYland.
 The remarkable vitality exhibited by the Kent club members, and the marked i'm provement in the literary menus provided for debates since the advent of President Sulli- van, have been very generally commented on. The Kent club Is greater success that in any preceding years.
