—"Songs of the Eastern Colleges:" Hinds and Noble,
New York City. Price $1.25.
One of the characteristic expressions of student feeling
and opinion is through the medium of song, be it in America
or Europe. Every college has its representative songs,
which not only serve to heighten the undergraduate spirit,
but they ,are the means of reviving those memories that will
forever unite the alumnus with his alma mater. In the

each other's songs. The book should be in the hands of
every man connected with the college world.
