the papers. The testimony of Haverford speaks
well for the success of the new scheme which the
Haverfordonian advocates for trial at least, to
other colleges. Concerning the success of abol
ishing rushes there it says : “The spirit of the
college has become more amicable and fraternal
and our affairs have run on as smoothly as in
other years when hazing was in the ascendant.
Our Freshmen this year have taken hold of our
institution and joined our societies and associa
tions in unusually large numbers.”
It is with pleasure that we are again per
mitted to peruse the full pages of the
the Nassau Literary Magazine and the Southern
Collegian. Both are full to the brim of interest
ing articles and stories interspersed with numer
ous excellent poems. The story of Big Ben in the
Collegian struck us as an entertaining production
and we cannot but wish that more of our ex
changes would publish articles of the same excel
lence. The Pennsylvania College Monthly, too,

interesting,
An article came out in the November Holcad
stating that a certain oration which we published
in our September number, ‘'The Soul Immortal,”
was nearly identical with an oration delivered
there two years ago, and intimating that we arc
guilty of plagiarism. As the authors name was
with the oration, we foil to understand why the
Holcad should demand an explanation of the
Free Lv\ce, for we would not likely publish an
article and send it through the exchanges, did we
know that it had been previously published by a
paper with which we exchange.
Although we would think ourselves very un
fortunate to be placed in the position in which
the Holead would intimate we are, yet as a staff
we feel that we are not compelled to assume any
of the responsibility, and if our accusers will give
the author of the production an opportunity,—as
they should have done before publishing their
suspicions,—we doubt not but that he will be
able to give them a satisfactory explanation.
