PROFESSOR PRICE addressed the Shakespeare Society on May 9th. He took as his subject "The Winter's Tale."

The club has felt his absence keenly. ASHWORTH, '92, and Knapp, '94, have been chosen to represent the Barnard Literary Society at the coming Joint Debate. THE net proceeds of the Junior Ball will amount to about $5OO. This…
