kormfellou) tHK association, although not } T ct ten years old, has rendered some valuable services, it is believed, to the University community, more particularly in the matter of sociability. It is about the only organi- zation which brings together at regular intervals for a pleasant evening the members of the Faculty, a goodly number of students and some of the thoughtful ladies and gentlemen of Berkeley. The element of sociability being an important one in the life of an educational institution, even greater benefits might be hoped for in the future. During the present term, aside from fine music, we enjoyed a talk on The Sonnet, by Dr. Edward R. Taylor, who, moreover, honored the society by dedicating to it two exquisite sonnets, which since then appeared in the Occident. We listened to a paper on Goethe ' s Homeric Studies, by Dr. G. M. Richardson. Mr. George Bates discussed Jean Jacques Rousseau, and the programme of the March meeting embraced a talk by Mr. Albert B. Webster on Some Early Sources of our L,iterary Development, and a recitation, Mona ' s Waters, by Miss Caroline W. Baldwin. y|]icers.
