The question, "Resolved, That general discussion ought to be allowed in the class," was debated, Mr. Reese taking the affirmative, Mr. Templeton the negative.

The committee have arranged a series of lectures to be given before the society by different members of the Faculty—Prof. Williams having given the first to be followed by Prof. Carruth, and later by Prof. Canfield.

LOCALS.
Since last spring, when the price of all college lands was advanced one-fifth, the demand for them has greatly increased, and, in our opinion, the price ought to be still further put up.
