EXCHANGE,
The Earlhamite publishes n pleasing hit of poetry entitled
'Lake Huron."

That piece of poetry entitled "Allorlei" in the Octident is
exceedingly well named. It is, moreover, nil n lie to call it
poetry.
The Ogonlz Mosaic is well supplied with marriage notices.
The Ogontz girls must b; simply great.. We wish it were nit

The Industrailist conlians an interesting and instructive

The Hesperian prints but little poetry. After reading
the poetry lying ajouud loose in the college world, we arc not
at all sorry. From further remarks we forbear.
Michigyn colleges and universities arc wrestling with the
. question whether to join the oratorical association. Come
on, Michigan, don't be afraid. We'll let you in.
Fastar Miscellany presents in its January number an ele
gant and artistic backispiecc to its literary colums. It bears
the inscnplion: 'White; exquisitely perfumed; pure."
The January number of the Mcmieken Review has an addi
tion, an exchange column. The editor docs well in one par
ticular at least, he puts in several gallant words for the ladies
of Hamilton.
The wail of the CotiptPEtat as to Tins Hesperian stand
on the fraternity question is an indication of the late editor's
effective work and an encouragement to the present board to
proceed in the same direction.
The Hesperian, ol the University of Nebraska is waging
unrelenting war on "foils." Northueseru
Thank you. Wc are trying to do our duty by them.
Don't you wish you could?
The "prep hat" has appeared on the campus of ihc U.

"The Hesperian contains many good things, and among
them an advertisement of "cigars, tobacco, etc." -Doan
Owl.
This from the Owl, the representative of a denominational
college!
This editor in his rambhngs among exchange scamc across
one modest appearing paper, the Norfolk Collegian. His eye
first rested upon the exchange column. He read it.
"Ah!" thought he, "What is this?" His instinct said it was a
young ladies paper. Why? It was gushing.
There is civil war in the Illinois Wcslcyan. The Elite
Journal and the Athenian are at swords' points. It is the
literary society against the wiles of the fraternity. In reply
to the sneering (illusions and assertions of the Athenian the
Journal uses some vigorous language. It speaks the truth
offended by covert sneers. The Journal speaks after
(his fashion: "Prove your statement or be content to let it be
called unprovable and untrue as it is." That is right, friend
Journal give them as good as they send; you are equal to it.
The Earlhamite siill insists that we have no genuine lit
'crary department. The trouble with the exchange editor of
the Earhattiale is that he fails to recognize the aim of The
Hesperian. The Hesperian would be no mere collocation
of essays, no bulky university studies or review; it strives not
to make a great showing with treatises, dry and exhaustive
enough to kill a philosopher; that is not its province, it would
be a live college paper, one to interest its subscribers, the
students; in fact, it would be n real college newspaper. The
Earlhamite is no doubt n good paper in its line but it is not
our style; that is all. The Hesperian is managed nnd
written by its editors, each nnn seeing to his own department.
