Degrees in Arts.—In the diploma of Master of Arts which I obtained from the University of Edinburgh, occur the words:
"Cunctaque consecutum esse Privilegia, Immunitates, Jura, quæ hic aut usquam alibi Bonarum Artium Magistris concedi solent."
What are (or rather were, for I suppose they do not now exist) these privilegia, immunitates, and jura?
Annandale.
"Goloshes"—"Kutchin-kutchu."—What is the origin of goloshes, as the name of water-proof shoes? It is, of course, of American derivation. But has it any connexion with the tribe of North American Indians, the Goloshes? They are the immediate neighbours of those tribes of Esquimaux who form water-proof boats and dresses from the entrails of the seal; and a confusion of names may easily have occurred.
