We have received Vol. I Wo. 1 of the York Collegian'
We hope it will grow and thrive mightily.
Only two attempts at joaks in the last number of the
College Ohronicle , Both failures. The paper, howj yer,
is not a failure. j
The Loans Owl comes regularly. We are always gh.d to
see our nearest nci ghbor. It editors are all '80s or '87's
which speaks well for those classes if not for the upper
ones.
The cadets of Lewis College, of Norlbficld Vt. have a

A somewhat lengthy poem begins the last issue of the
Wesleyan Bee, entitled "Lines to a Mound-Builder'a

The rivary between barbarians and frats must always
exist, but the armed peace is the easiest and most digni
