THEHESPERIAN.

The "Niagara Index" forms a pleasant contrast to many of
our exchanges, at least in its exchange department. Though
sometimes too severely critical of its less able neighbors, its
wit and ingenuity are worthy the notice of those goody-goody
ex-editors, whose comments remind one vaguely of cambric
tea, dish-water or some such vitalizing stuff.
A pleasing feature of the Butler Collegian is the publica
tion of two prize Sophomore orations, one on "The Common
Soldier," the other "Responsibility of Promulgating a
Thought." It is needless to say that the former took the
first prize, but considering the great amount of dictionary
work and lead pencils wasted on the latter the judges award
ed it second prize.
Our stock of literary matter is enormous. Some of the
best articles are "Sociology and the Moral Idea" in the
Simpsonian, "The Collisseum" in the Aegis, "Oliver Gold
smith," in the Vanderbilt Observer, "De Temporibuset
moribus" in Vassar Miscellany, "Labor Organization" in
Lombard Review and "Secret Societies" in The Ariel.
Many more are interesting.
The Exponent, published by the students of Beatrice High
school, is certainly an exponent, for it shows that the culture
gained at Beatrice is not merely a surface culture, but one
which betrays its depth through thought, composition and
style. It is, without doubt, the best high school journal we
have ever perused, and is superior in many respects to a great
many which come from colleges. Yes,you will be all the better
devils and we shall be glad to get such devils, for surely they
arc not common ones. The Hesperian will be more regular
hereafter.
Our attention was attracted by a flashy love story in the
"literary" column of the University Herald of Syracuse
University, which sent us immediately into the depths of
Worcester's "big die" to refresh our memory as to the mean
ing of "literary." We found, "devoted to literature;" liter
ature, meaning "the result of learning, knowledge and imagin
ation." Therefore we differ from the editor as to the character
of the article; also we pity the august senior who can not dis
play his superiority in any other way than writing an imposs
ible shallow romance. Such a story is not literature, as it is
not the product of imagination, learning and knowledge
(unless it be of dime novels or 3d rate plays) and it were better
placed in the Waverly Magazine or Fireside Companion than
a college paper.
