stcml of laboring lor higher education,
they arc fust becoming advocates of stu
dents nights, laboring foi the promulga
tion of some insigniiicaut matter, of im
portance only to those whose interests are
at stake. Gradually is all this taking
place, hence we may infer that the slu.
dents, whose ability the papers so ably
disclose, are not such as those whose pla
ces they now occupy. We have anxious
ly awaited for the approach of that lime
when the interest in the college press
would revive. Wo tiusl the time is not
far distant, for nothing exists in college
work atVording more improvement and
culture than a well conducted paper. In
these columns, we propose to tell in plain
English just what we think of our ex
changes, and expect a like compliment in
return. We will belittle no merits, nor
encourage any faults. Then with good
will to all, and malice toward none, we
commence our researches through the
representatives of the college world.

The Aa rum contain a good article on
the "Choice of a Calling, containing an
abundance of valuable thought, to the
young -man about entering into active
life. We would be pleased to quote but
want of space forbids, t
The antiquated appearance of the Col
leijo Courier is rather pleasing. There
are many good things about this little
sheet, particularly its bievily. The num
erous communications which it contains
are Inclined to be dry and burdensome.
A college paper should be wholly con.
ducted by the students. liy this we mean
that the contributions should be from
them, bo they ever so weak, if they are
the best they can produce, be contented
and labor for improvement. These few
remarks are intended for the Jicrkleyan, a
line paper In every respect,-with the ex
ception that originality is wanting.
