President Eliot of Harvard, narrowly escaped being tardy at the opening of the college term on Thursday. He started from his summer residence, at Mount Desert, on Monday night, intending to reach Boston by steamer. A fog closed in upon the steamer, however, and she was compelled to anchor until Tuesday noon. Finally the steamer put back in order to enable those passengers who were in a hurry to reach home to take the train and come by land.-[Gazette.

The post-graduate department of Yale College will take up this year a novel course of study, namely, that of railroads and their growth, shipping and international trade, stocks, and the effect of speculation on the money market.
