It complained of the triteness of college
notes and clippings.
According to some paper or other every
week lor the last six months "two Japan
ese girls have entered Vassar." At inter
vals that "Iowa student who was prevent
ed irom voting at the October elections"
rises and claimes 1100.00 damages. AU
most everytitnc we open a magazine, we
expect to be confronted witli that poem
on '70:
Urlnd, j;rliid, urlnd,
For n fliht or that old degree,
And I would that my llpn could utter,
Th(! thoughts t tint arlso in mo."
If our lips could utter the thoughts that
arise in us, there would he a very emphat
Ic request to somebody io hang or bury
the next editor who should copy that
poem into his paper. Oecasionly the
programme is varied by the editor fran
tically exclaiming,
"Mold of AthuiiH, ore wo part,
Toll mi; If thou hunt a heart."
Our exchanges are brimful of glowing
accounts of their Junior exhibitions,
Evidently this is almost a universal cus
tom, and it is well that it should be so.
The Student will bo nolicable on uc
count of the absence of any mention of
such an exhibition here. Let us hope
that the classes of 'SO and '8i will pursue
a dillerenl couisc.
The Oolkgian ami Nteoerian contained
a pleasing review of some of Tennyson's
heroines, evidently written by an ardent
admirer of the poet's beautiful genius.
The "delations of Reason to Kalth" was
far superior to moat of the articles in tho
Gol. and Ncut. though we could not agree
with the gentleman in all his hypotheses.
The Olio contained quite an original
essay on tho "Utility of the Imagination,"
though it struck us as being rather a pity
that
"llrlj-ht-i'.vt'd Fancy which HUiitturn from her
pictured urn,
Thought!) that breath and word that burn"
couldn't have inspired the author to the
expression of loftier sentiments in liner
language.
We were favored this month with n
copy of the National Amateur, which is
thcolllcial organ of the National Amateur
Press Asso'n. To say that its editor is
C. C. Chase is to say that it is spicy, orig.
inal and entertaining.
Tho editorials of the Targum are in
every way commendable, but the ex.
change editor lacks lire. His criticisms
are exceedingly Hut. The poem entitled
"Cupid's Visit" was more of a gem than
most college productions of that class.
EDITOR'S NOTES.
Class poems arc required of each mem.
her of the Senior Class at Trinity.
Two societies for the suppression of

you may write it on a postal card. Jim:
