THE UNIVERSITY TEAS.

In spite of the cordial terms in which the undergraduates are invited to the University teas at Phillips Brooks House, too many men who would enjoy these informal receptions if they attended, fail to respond. When Phillips Brooks House, tea, and members of the Faculty and their wives are mentioned in the same breath, signs of alarm appear. But those who have summoned up their courage and attended the teas in former years have not found them in the least formidable. On the contrary they have found an excellent opportunity to enter into sociable conversation with men whom they knew previously only in the class-room, and to meet women who take a friendly and genuine interest in their affairs. All students are welcomed alike, upper-classmen as well as Freshmen. It is to be hoped that the opportunity will be more widely appreciated this year than ever before.

The University of Pennsylvania defeated Cornell in their annual football game yesterday by the score of 17 to 4.
