UNIVERSITY COURIER.
Large stock of Herbarium paper just received at A. B. Warren.
Messrs. Otis, White, Peck, Fitzpatrick and Humphrey, the board of regents, met last week to attend to the business of the University. They decided upon abolishing the Junior Preparatory department, buying a fire proof safe for the Chancellor's office and increasing the salary of the clerk. A petition was received from the engineering students asking that the department of Civil Engineering be established and a representative be allowed. This with a number of other matters of less importance were referred to the Faculty. There was also a current rumor that a change would be made in the University administration but this is authoritively denied. The board adjourned to meet again on the 8th of next month.

One of the COURIER locals was in receipt of an invitation to Mrs. Gardener's silver wedding, which took place on the eve of the 26th ult. It is needless to say that he gladly accepted. The evening was spent in social entertainment and about ten o'clock our local's heart was touched, in the approved way of touching a student's; for such a "spread" of good edibles, consisting of the choicest delicacies, it had not been his luck to see during his five year stay in this clasic city. About sixty couples were seated at the tables, and when they again adjourned to the parlors it might literally be said that "sad havoc" had been made. In one of the rooms was displayed a goodly share of presents from friends at home and abroad, one of the pretiest was a silver tea set presented by the invited guests.
