EXCHANGES
The Athenmum of West Virginia University has
come to us for the first time. We are greatly
pleased with its external appearance and its general
excellence. Your paper is exactly the same age
as,ours and we might render each other mutual
assistance in climbing to the heights of college
journalism. The colleges which we represent be
ing in many respects similar, we should have a
particular interest in each other.
THE FREE LANCE.
The Pennsylvania College Monthly for Novem
ber contained a really excellent article on the
" Entertainment in Scott's Novels." It showed
that the writer was thoroughly acquainted with his
subject, and to be well acquainted with such a
subject shows the careful preparation and serious
thought of a student.
We are in receipt of a copy of the Washington
Jeffersonian, with the invitation to exchange.
Certainly George or Thomas, we will. We like
the style of your paper. Judging from the num
ber of contributed articles your students must take
more interest in the college paper than ours do in
the FREE LANCE.
The lyres of the University Courant are always
tuneful, but we think the campaign song in the
last issue was a little undignified. It would sound
better in some strongly partisan political exponent.
Aside from this, your lyric department has a very
high standard. This is always the first page we
turn to on the receipt of your paper.
The Bei/tally Collegian presents a very neat ap
pearance, but we are of the opinion that you take
room in continued stories which could be occupied
to better advantage by editorials or an Exchange
Department. There are very few of the college
publications that are making a success of light
continued stories.
"I, thought you were going back to college ;
were you scared out ? " "o,no ; it was a con
dition and not a theory that confounded me."
LANCELETS.
She has been among the lilies,
Where their fragrance rises sweet,
And the air so soft and still is—
There have strayed my darling's feet
She has been among them lately,
Where they grow so white and tall;
She has touched their blossoms stately,
She, the fairest (lower of•all,
Something in her face cloth show it—
Breathes the tale where'er she goes;
Shall I tell you how I know it?
There is yellow on her
