EXCHANGE .--The Lafayette is in its late issue especially attractive in its home department. --The Press and Printer, devoted to the in terest of newspaper and kindred trades, has come and earned a welcome. —The obligation we owe to The Pennsylva m'an for its supply of college news compels us to say again that in its news department it excels. —The article, "Trials of Xantippe," in the University Cynic deserves mention a$ belonging to the class of literature in college papers called unique and interesting. —The Phi Sigina Monthly, Dickinson Lib eral,The Corne/flan, The Lantern and The Pha retra are also worthy of mention fur their style and opinions. —Welcome to the Sibyl, and thanks to its bright pages for their sunlight. The Sibyl is unique in character, and we found it interesting and devoid of anything that "tires" the reader. The article entitled "Ourselves" is pleasing, and presents some close and correct analyses, we think. —ln the late University Riparler an article entitled, "Educate the Masses," attracted our at tention. The education of the masses is warmly urged as a remedy for the troubled state of society throughout the country which manifests itself in strikes, &c., and more or less endangers the in• terests of the land at large. This argument is significant as coming from a section which for a long time made no pretensions to educate a large per cent. of the "masses." —The 'Varsity, of the University of To ronto, has made its first appearance among us. We perused this paper with more than ordinary interest, as the only college journal outside of our own country with which we have thus far entered into exchange relations. As a paper represent ing a university of Canada, The ' Varsity is inter- THE FLEE LAIsICE. esting to us as presenting current college matters in some respects peculiar to that country. We were interested in the article setting forth the claims of the university upon the Crown. In welcoming The' Vizrsily we must say further that it is sib aantial throughout. —The Ursinus College Bulletin in a late ar ticle sets forth the following responsibilities as resting upon our nation : I. Our nation is re sponsible for the preservation 'of liberty. An a,•chy, socialism, libertinism ' and the circulation of corruption and discord mast therefore be stoppe.l.• 2. Our nation is responsible for the preservation of pure Christianity, and so Roman. M qmonism and Infi lelity must be opposed 3. We are a's ) responsible as b :big designed as the "st ty and comfort of down-trodden human ity." We think that the . writer's view of our "responsibilities" is at least wide enough when he takes in the last point. LANCELETS nr gond t.nntngt.
