THE HESPERIAN- EXCHANGE BRIC-A-BRAC. The Courier has a number of little items which arc doubt less very interesting to the students of the University. "The Law of Growth in Character" is the best article found in the College Index. It is well written and follows closely the theme. "Among the Glacicrs'Ms a very pleasing article found in the Pharos. We can always take time to read this paper and not consider it misspent. The latest number of the Campus seems to be more inter esting than usual. Nearly all of the articles are short, but to the point and pleasing. Student Life contains numberless jokes which arc doubtless well appreciated by the students. It also has two quite lengthy articles besides some poetry. A rather childish though interesting story appears in the Roekford Seminary Magizine. Such a type of literature is un usual foi that magazine. Among our new exchanges appears the Lombard Reviexo. We are glad to make its acqaintancc. It has quite a lengthy exchange column and seems very sociable. Hamilton College Monthly only helps to show women's abil ity to stand equal with men in literary work. Its columns arc well filled with interesting matter. The University, another of our new exchanges has a con siderable inclination toward fun, but has between its covers much of the "solid." Its exchange column is interesting. Fiofcssor in English Literature: "Who is the fallen angel Milton speaks about?" Quick Student: ''Mercury, sir: I heard but the other day that Mercury fell 15 degrees." Coup D'Etat. The Signal comes as usual filled with fun and news. It's a bright paper but some of its so-called fun borders too closely upon mere nonsense to be allowed in a college paper that pretends to be anything. Northwestern comes to us filled as usual with bright, inter esting matter. Quite a sensible article is found in it arguing in favor of the scheme of making its paper a weekly instead of a semi-monthly as it now is. Most of our exchanges are full of Thanksgiving items, eu logies on turkeys etc. Thanksgiving time is always one of good cheer and happiness and is one of the holidays looked forward to with great pleasure by all. The plain neat cover of The Dartmouth attracts attention, and one is not disappointed on opening it. The arrangement of the paper especially, is exceptionally good. The contents of the paper are, like the cover, plain and elegant. University Quarterly's pages are well filled with interesting matter. In one of the editorials the new scheme of the faculty in conducting examinations is discussed. It seems that here tofore the plan has been to hold annual instead of term exami nations. We think that all students must be glad of the change. The Simpsortian gives us a rub on our covers. Thinks they would look better if they were not "disfigured by serpents" &c. Don't you know Simpsonian that these covers are a great work of art? Are you so unapprcciative that you can not catch the meaning of the design? Well, live and learn. Again the Vanderbilt Observer gladdens our table. An ar ticle describing the discovery of Prof, Barnard's new comet is interesting to scientific students. The comet was discover ed on the morning of the 6th inst. Prof. Barnard, it' seems, has already discovered six comets. He has been remarkably successful in his researches. The first number of the Exponent published by our friends of the Beatrice public schools is on our tabic. Welcome Ex ponent. Your appearance is, withal, good; there is, ncverthc ess, a very wide room for improvement; but enterprising and able men seem to back you up, and we predict some little no toriety for you, in the not very distant future. Monmouth Collegian gives a list of some of the college col ors as follows'; Amherst, white and purple; Bowdoin, white; Brown, brown; University of California, pink; Cornell, car nclian; Dartmouth, green; Harvard, crimson; University of New York, violet; University of Pennsylvania, blue and red; Princeton, orange and black; Yale, blue. The Collegian is is quite a newsy paper. Let's see what the Doane Owl has to say. Usually it con tains something funny, perhaps considered witty by the writ ers. This time we arc first attracted by a review of Ben Hur; it is Well written and shows that the writer has carefully read the book. It would be time well invested for anyone to read this book who has not already done so. It is one of the most interesting books both as to matter and style, that we were ever fortunate enough to read. Alabama jV0MM',thearticle"Influence of Climate upon Na tional and Individual Character" is worthy of attention. "The Power of Listening" is also a very interesting article, well written and instructive. In fact all the matter of this paper hows thought and preparation. In the rush and hurry of col lege life ,one is very liable to perform his work in such a hasty manner that it will do him no good, and will not benefit any one else. In the end it always pays to spend enough time up on what we undertake to have it well done, and not partly completed. There is a great dificrence between, labor and discipline. The object of all school work is to promote moral, mental and bodily growth; but certain kinds of labor arc stunting and stultifying. No strength can be obtained from forced study. Growth and discipline come from spontaneous work. There are millions of human beings who must be kept hard at work all their lives in order to keep from doing mischief; the very safety of the world depends upon their constant occupation. True growth comes through discipline, produces education and ends in wisdom. Its means are sympathy, good motives, benevolence and earnestness. Discipline through labor is the end and aim of all true school woik. Ex. I. B.
