The Freshman and Sophomore elocution classes will be conducted next term by Prof. Saunderson instead of by Professors Marsh and Dunlap as done heretofore.

Prof. Saunderson is of course well fitted for the work and will make this branch of study a success.
To-morrow the long and hard fought fight over the Oratorical Association will be decided and the officers to take charge of the contest next Tuesday evening will be elected.

AMUSEMENTS.
Reftrow's "Jolly Pathfinders" will hold the boarde at the opera house all of next week, in a repotuce of musical comedies, at popular prices. The company is deserving, the plays clear and sparkling, and will afford a good week's enjoyment. The Quincy, Ily., Daily Journal says of them: "Theatre-goers yesterday witnessed performances, matinee and evening, by Reftrow's Jolly Pathfinders. The company rendered a musical melange program, consisting of a sketch entitled "The Foot of the Family," and a one-act complication christianed appropriately "Scrap." There are no Lottas among the ladies, or Good-wins among the gentlemen. In the dramatic firmament none of the Pathfinders shine as fixed, dazzling stars. But their entertainment is free from vulgarity. It is clean, bright, newish, entertainment. The performances were each well attended, and on each occasion were liberally applauded, the audience-at times growing enthusiastic in the bestowal of plaudits. The company is evenly balanced, spirited, and evidently intent on leaving a good name in towns visited. It has left an excellent reputation and impression in Quincy, and will again do a large business when it favors Quincy with another visit.
Examinations.
The examinations in the Political Science department will be given as follows: Friday, Colonial History, from 9 to 10:45; Finance and Diplomacy, 10:45 to 12; Monday, Constitution and Political History, (first year) 9 to 12; Banking and Finance, 12 to 1.15; Tuesday, Constitution and Political History (second year), 9 to 12; Wednesday, Political Economy, 9 to 12.

Drophilian.
Owing to examinations, the society will not meet to-night. With the beginning of the new term literary work will be carried on by the society with renewed vigor.
