The exchange editor enters upon his duties for this month
with a feeling of regret—regret that this is the last time in which
he can give vent to his opinions of our contemporaries. Yet he
will not take advantage of this final chance to say anything cruel
or sarcastic. He feels in quite a different mood, and would
much rather give praise where praise is due, leaving the faults
to others.
After a lapse of over two years, the Nassau Lit. again bobs up
serenely upon the table, just as entertaining as ever. It is pleas
ant to meet old friends now and then, though one would wish
that they were more constant. " The Upper Casement," the
only article of fiction in the issue, is a rather unique tale. Of the
verse we print an excerpt elsewhere.
We note with pleasure the comely new dress of the College
Folio, of Allentown. The contents show a marked advance over
those of previouS issues.
The other College Folio has an excellent article, entitled
" Andrew Lang as a Critic." Two bits of fiction complete the
excellence of the issue.
The Brown Magazine comes out with a pretty array of charm
ing sketches and an essay of much interest on "The Study of
Temperament."
The " Fiction Number " of the Wesleyan Lit. is a most attract
ive one. The five short stories are all well handled and very
original in plot. The whole number is a decided success.
The Diekinsonian is at least up to date, having already pub
lished the first part of a story called " A Tale of the Yukon."
We greet The Muhlenberg in its new color, though we are at
the same moment reminded of the old advertisement, " Use Dia
mond Dyes."
The Hamilton Lit. brings us a pleasing story, entitled " A
Chemical Romance," while in its verse " The Woman Who Didn't
Care " is especially good.
