The Courier office is now fitted up with a new petroleum engine, and the "great religious semi-monthly" is run off with the most improved machinery.
The new system of marking is not satisfactory. Students who receive 90 and 100 are marked in the same class one. This is manifestly unjust.

—Prof. Snow has introduced a new plan of marking. Those students receiving grades between 90 and 100 are marked 1; etween 80 and 90,2; between 70 and 80, 3; below 70,4.
—Prof. Canfield has made an index of all books in the library, treating upon any branch of political economy. The index is arranged according to topics, and is almost an indispensible aid to the study of this science. With this aid the student can readily find the most important writings upon any topic under discussion. The index will be found hanging in the alcove containing the works on political science. The students are to be congratulated upon this efficient aid to their work, and they owe the professor their thanks for having prepared it for them.
THE OREADS—The members returned from their vacation, still rejoicing over their contest victory and fully determined to keep up the high standard of the society. The literary programs have been of a very high order of excellence and good work is being done. A special feature of last week's meering was the debate on the question, "Resolved, that an amendment should be made to the constitution in effect the same as the Civil Rights bill, recently declared unconstitutional by the supreme court." The affirmative was ably sustained by W. H. Brown and Glen Miller, and they were eloquently answered by H. B. Martin and E. D. Cruise. New students and old are invited to attend their meetings, Friday afternoon at three o'clock.
