THE HESPERIAN EXCHANGE. DIRECT POINTERS. ; i y l V. f! The Aegis needs a new cover to make it one of our best exchanges. The Berhcleyan comes in lor the first lime. It bears evi dence of hard and honest work on the part of its editors. Call again. Will the Courier, of Kansas, please explain what they mean by "bear dance"? The Musical Herald, of Boston, made its first appearance this week. To students of music it would be exceedingly interesting. The style and beauty of the workmanship is exceedingly fine. We hope it will be a regular visitor. The editors of Doane Owlc are building bright hopes for the future success of their school. They predict that in the near future the institution will send out classical students fully competent to cope with the best in our land. We sincerely hope that their drama will materalize. The Hamilton Review is a paper of the first class. Unlike many of our exchanges it is strong in every department. In its editorial and literary departments arc articles of sufficient merit to commend the respect of its exchanges, while the local must be exceedingly interesting to its home readers. Ths Iowa Wesleyan is ajneat and unassuming journal, jt nevertheless ranks high among our exchanges. And by the way, if any of the students in the U. of N. are studying Ham let, it will be well worth their time and trouble to secure a copy and xread the article on "The Sanity of Hamlet." It is a meritorious production. The Washburn Argo has a new cover and it is immense. The designs on the old cover were so indistinct tnat we never could make out exnetly what they were, but they stand out so distinctly on the new, that we recognize them without diffi culty. We arc glad to notice these improvements. If the contents rank as high in literary perfection as the cover docs in artistic design, we think this exchange will stand among the best. The Vassar Miscellany, one of our oldest exchanges, has dared to write up the subject of "New Girls." What an odd subject for editors to write about! Who ever saw an edtior, who knew how to handle such a subject? However the ed itor who wrote the above article is evidently a lady and this probably accounts for the ring of the article. We think the writer forgot or intentionally omitted one view of the case, butwedonotenre to bring out the point in this connection and heartily concur with the author when she says, "The New Girl is a large and important factor in our college life." Yea verily our heart thumps loud for her, but we arc not go. ing to forget the old ones. The Simpsonian in the last issue tries to size up the Sen iors and bring out, and establish that ihe above class is com posed of human beings who arc liable to, and do commit er rors just the same as the first Preps or Freshmen. We feel like emphasizing this idea. There is olden times a feeling of alienation existing between the graduating class and those at the other end of the course. In most cases, this is due to the conduct of the upper classmen. Perhaps it is not pre meditated but arises from the fact that their work is so dif ferent. Care should be exercised on the part of upper class men, that this felling does not grow. All classes have nn important place to fill, and all are necessary to the success of any college, and any class that graduates with the idea that they are taking with them the best part of the institution is badly mistaken.
