nia ranks among the best of college publications which come to us. As a literary magazine, and also in its breadth of range among the topics of the day, it deserves the most complimentary no tice. The Campus, Allegheny College, in its at tractive dress has made its very welcome appear ance in our sanctum. We wish to return our thanks for the kindly words and criticism re ceived at the hands of a journal whose good will is to be valued. We can say of The Campus that it evinces a versatile genius throughout, and possesses an editorial department- able to make itself felt at home and a literary department which cannot fail to make itself pleasing and respected abroad. We are pleased to be acknowledged by the Pennsylvania College Monthly. But will the Monthly be kind enough to inform us exactly what it means (1) by speaking of an institution as an “agricultural school(2) by the remark that it “floats the name Pennsylvania State College;” (3) that it “feeds so freely at the State crib ?” If it will kindly enlighten us on these points, we may then have something more to say. But, until it does so, we shall be compelled to assume what the paragraph plainly shows, that the writer of it is utterly ignorant of the facts in the case.
