OUH EXCIIANOKS 51 OUH EXCHANGES. Tlicro is a pleasant duty wo Unci, in preparing the Studkkt for its many read. its, and tnat, looking over tho table mil ol Exchanges Unit have conic from all part. of our country. Some present a lino ap pearance, showing that work and patience have been exhausted in their attempt to equal, if not to excell, the numerous jour nals that hail from every institution ot learning in our land. The Iroing Union is a neat, little thing, otherwise, not of much import, cousid ering where it comes from. The Trinity Tablet, although not quite up to the ordinary standard ot college journals, we should judge, is'a fair repre sentative of Trinity college. We would advise the Tablet to give us a sound arti cle once in a while and less of thai "Bum" and "Minor Matters." The VoluntG is a wide awake, progres sive sheet, well conducted, with lots of finish and touch added by the cillcicul ed ii.oi of its local department. The Qui Vice is a neat paper from Shurtleir College, 111. Its contents are of the ordinary run, rather tedious and mo notonous. While the editor appeals to the students to play foot ball, get up a gymnasium, or do something to relieve the monotony, wc would imagine the edi tor would look belter kicking a football than shoving a quill, if he couldn't do it quite so well. The High School comes to us consider, ably enlarged, and containing many well written articles. The High School does credit to its enterprising and clllcicut edi tor, and is well worthy the success which it has attained. The Illini goes ahead of the average ex change composed of articles that have un 'dergoue a complete preparation, which give tone to the paper, lluish to the arti cles, and praise to the authors. The "In llueiice of Association " is short and over Mowing with good thought. The December number of the Argoxg comes to us witli the first two pages filled with " Rambling Thoughts," and a piece of poetry not remarkable for display of ex traordinary talent in its composition. "Wo ae Inclined to think, after reading the first editorial, that the writer of the same had his mind more on oysters and the goud things of life than the duties and responsibilities of the editorial chair. A large portion of the Argony is occupied with a quarrel some dispute with the Athcnwuin. Keep cool Mr. Argosy. 'Tia a nice thing to show "grit," but think of your readers, whom you bore with your voluminous nonsense. The Alumni Journal looks as neat as ever. It gives us pleasure to peruse a journal of such high literary excellence. Wo especially appreciate the article cnti tied : " Plenty of Room Higher Up." The Lawrence Collegian contains a sen sible article entitled " Revolution," but much of the remaining contents contain trash which ought to bo thrown into the waste basket. The Collegian must be fa vored with a peculiar class of readers if it expects them to be interested in such un learned rubbish as " Old Chunk's Tale." Let the Collegian begin the now year by rejecting from its columns such couglom morale and ostentatious nonsense as tho December numbci contains. The Jewell looks as well as heretofore. It is a gem of literary excellence. Tho poem descriptive of the Missouri River does credit to the author. The contents of the Jewell show ability on tho part of its contributors. Again The Diocese wi tli its appropriate name, beautiful typo and clearness of ex pression meets us half way and demands our careful consideration. "Wo confess that we are unable to do it justice, but would say that it need not fear to stand among the papers of its kind, even under the eye of scrutiny and criticism.
