The senior clnss of "Wabash College will take in the
New Orleans exposition in a body.
Our friend, tho K. S. U. Courier has pronounced the
New Orleans exhibition a miscraLlc failure. Tho expo
sition must go.
The Occident is worried over tho lack ot interest shown
by college editors whenever tho end of a term approaches.
Submit to the inevitable, Bro. Occident. We do.
In reading the comments of tho Alabama University
Monthly It will be well to use a deodorizer carbolic acid
or disinfectants, you know . Wo arc heartily sorry for a
man that can't blot out an hypercritical coulomporary
without descending to tho level of a democratic editor.
Tommy Hendricks kindly presented a portrait of him
self to the Notre Dame students. Wo don't know wheth
er to compassionate the students who will bo burdened
with such a princely gift or Iho charitable Tommy who
cannot give away even a penny's worth without a spasm
of repentance.
Oampus of Meadvllle Alleghany College is tho lat
est arrival. Who publishes it, and why? Wo are unable
to malic out. The froshies run tiie Owl, also from Mead
vllle. We could have guessed so much even if we wore
not informed on the subject. But the Campus is a con
nundrum. "Wo think if the IIksimjman Student would bo pub
lished monthly' instead of semi-monthly, the editors
could greatly improve it. Now and then it contains art
icles of moderate qualities, but a little more lime would
certainly Improve tho publication." College Student.
Look upon the italics in that extract and shed tears. The
College Student ought to follow Its own advice and appear
well, say tri-yearly.
Our friend, tho Badger, enters into a long tirade
against the "Student's Literary Bureau" of Chicago which
is sending out circulars announcing its readiness and
even anxiety to furnish "bright and accomplished young
men and women with custom made "orations, essays and
poems" at the merely nominal price of one dollar pcr
"smlle." Tho slang expression "smilo" is particularly
pat wo smiled all over when wo recloved onn of tho cir
culars afore-mcntloned. Now tho "Literary Bureau" is a
big thing. Thero is nothing mean about it. It is no
doubt just what it professes to bo. Of courso tho best
literary talent Is found among tho contributors. No
doubt the ghosts of the defunct Shakespeare, Milton and
Carlylo ariso from their tombs for tho muc'i prized op
portunity of furnishing "orations, essays and poems. 'r
Nothing would bo more natural. Then tho project i
laudable. It is laudable in tho exlromo. Think how
much moro profitably the weary hours squandered upon
"essay, oration and poem" composition might be
employed. Tho weary hours squandered etc. etc. might
be used to good advantage in playing euchre or "bucking:
tho tiger." Tho Student's Literary Bureau is evidently
a missionary concern. But the Badger assumes to revile
such a great-soulod institution I Loyal students, "bright
est young men and women" for tho sake of your future
marks in rhctoricals stand by tho "Student's Literary
Bureau" and boycott tho Badger II I Jan. '22, & wdy. -
