The hockey season has just closed in the east, leaving Yale at the head of the league. A Lincoln, Nebraska, paper announces the resignation of Miss Cora Parker as directorof the art department of the University of Nebraska. Miss Parker has held that position for a number of years, having previously held a similar one at Kansas University. The resignation is to take effect in June, and the change will be a matter of interest to Miss Parker's many friends in Lawrence. President Gilham, of John's Hopkins, has summed up in the following manner the object of a college education: 1. Concentration, or the ability to hold the mind exclusively and persistently to one subject; 2. Distribution, or power to arrange and classify known facts; 3. Retention, or power to hold facts; 4. Expression or the power to test what you know; 5. Power of judgment, or making sharp discrimination between that which is false, and that which is essential. The faculty and students of Allison College, Ohio, have decided that each student shall pay one dollar for the support of athletics when he takes out his classification card. Oxford has refused to join with Cambridge in arranging for field and track contests between the athletes of English and American universities.

Princeton has recently received a gift of $10,000 for the equipment of its classical library. 7 President Taylor, of Vassar College has been unanimously chosen to the vacant chair of president of Brown University.
