The Carletouiti is a fine paper. Every department but the Ex. is strong. The Bittler Collegian is one of the neatest exchanges and most successful jokers we recicve. The Notre Dame Scholastic greets us with a two columns "Poll of Honor." This may be an easy way to get up copy but we doubt if any beneficial results will accrue to cither leaders or editors. Guess again, worthy Occident. You missed the truth entirely when you attemped to explain the motives that prompted us to hit one of our exchanges. What salary do you get for fighting for the Dartmouth, anyway? Women have long been noted for their ability to talk. A Boston lady seems to have been conscious of this lact and determined to test her ability. She tied the pedometer to her chin and found that she talked thirty-three miles between breakfast and lunch. Ex. The Messacliorean comes to us for the first time. It is No. 2 of Vol. 1, and for a beginning journal it is a remarkable success. If it succeeds in living up to its present standard it will outshine many of our older exchanges. If we were to offer any criticism we would say that the literary department is too much on the biographical line. . In the exchange pile before us are journals representing all parts of our land; from the cast and north, characterized by the strange desire for physical superiority ; from the south noted for its quietness and easy balance of mental and physi cal endowments, and from the west with the evidence of a yet undeveloped superiority. To the cast where the oldest col leges exist we naturally turn to find college life in its most mature stage of development. Wc sometimes wonder if their love for physical sports will ever gain a strong hold among us, and if so will it be marred by many of the barbrous cus toms existing in the cast at present. If our exchanges arc a proper guide to the progress of development wc are safe in saying that many of these "relics of barbarism" will be things of the past. The infamous custom of hazing new students lacks every essential clcmcmt of manliness. What honor or even smartness is there in a dozen or so of students jumping onto one poor unsuspecting stranger in the dark hour of night and dragging him forth in order that they may satisfy a nat ural desire for brutal enjoyment? Cane rushes arc somewhat morejustifiable but nevertheless cannot be too much discour aged. It is gratifying to note that the taste for these one sided exhibitions of strength are losing ground, and the more manly and evenly contested games arc taking their place. The athletic associations should have an important place in a college course, but they should be so conducted that manli ness and physical stiength will be developed together. The Geneva Cabinet is one of the largest as well as best of our exchanges. In the last issue attempted to prove that the study of the dead languages should not be optional They make out a very plausible case but as usual they con. sider only one side. This is a live question in college papers at present. Wc would be pleased to Jicar from a champion on the other side of the case. The Simpionian jumps on us for not using larger type. Wc cannot see the justice of the criticism. Our type is of ordinary size and anyone who is not totally blind can read it without a magnifying glass. Then again the criti cism is a little inconsistent as the kickers are using nonpareil for their own exchange. Better lake the mote out of your own eye. And then what a sheet they get up! The. edit ors do not seem to have enough analytical ability to arrange their articles; they arc thrown in heller skelter, being barley separated by a period. Wc unintentionally stirred up the wrath of The Dartmouth board of editors. We simply advise them to keep their coats on and we will explain. There arc strong reasons why the exchange editor of The Hesperian should show a due amount of respect towards seniors. We insist on the fact, however, that'as a rule the graduating class have too many "extras" to attend to, to run a college paper. Wc never pre tend to judge the standard of a paper by the exchange column , and it was only after having read the editorial and literary departments that we could conscientiously call the above sheet "a good average paper." There must be a strange lot of students at the Crescent Hillhonsc High School. Our exchange from that place came out with a prescription for the cure of love sickness. Wc are well aware that the students of the U. of N. arc far above the possibilities of ever catching the dreadful disease. Our western climate and the strict enforcement of the "slate law" is the secret of our unusually good health. But college life must end and with it those safeguards. In order that stu dents may carry a prLventation out into after life wc submit the prescription. "Take twelve ounces of dislike, one pound of resolution, four grains of experience, two ounces of com mon sense, a long sprig of thyme, and three quarts of cooling waters of Lethe. Let all these boil over the gentle fire of love, skim with the spoon of melancholy, svceten with sugar of forgctfulncss and put it in the bottom of your heart. There let it rest, and when a spell comes on take a small draught of it. The above ingredients are to be found at the apothe carry's at the house of Understanding, in Prudence street, next door to Reason in the village of Contentment." 5 iriTrariirBiaiTgiBrPTWwiiWir!;
