THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1907 EDITORIAL Before the year draws to a close we wish to say a few words in re gard to exchanges. During the present college year we have :'e ceived the following publicatiors . : The Oberlin Review, The Mount Holyoke, The Mansfield Normal Quarterly, The Susquehanna, The Hanoverian, Pennsylvania Grit, The Atlantic City Herald, Bates Student, The Lesbian Herald, Peirce School Alumni Journal, Montclair High School Bulletin, The Mercury, The Dartmouth Magazine, Maryland Collegian, The Swarthmore Phoenix, The Albright Bulletin, The Amulet, The Sibyl, The Linden Hall Echo, The Red and White, The Washing ton Jeffersonian, The Dickinson Union, The Lafayette, The Western University Courant, The Beaver, THE STATE COLLEGIAN The Ursinus Weexly, The Seminary Opinator, The Touch stone, The Holcad, The Delaware College Review, The Pittsburg High School Journal, The Case Tech., The Athenaeum, The Franklin and Marshall Weekly, The Brown and White, The Punch Bowl, The Prince ton Tiger, The Mercersburg News and The Dickinsonian. As was emphasized recently, the Collegian is primarily a newspaper, and furthermore, it is published in the interest of the students of our own college, from whom it receives the greater part of its support. For these reasons, which we believe to be sufficient, no exchange column is maintained in the paper. If a de sire for such a column were ex pressed by our students, or if the need should otherwise be made evi dent, the innovation would be gladly introduced. Otherwise. we shall continue the present policy in regard to the matter. Many of the publications men tioned, particularly those which come from literary colleges, are most excellent. Some are strong in one respect, and some in another; naturally, a considerable number are open to criticism. As in the past, these papers will be placed in the Y. M. C. A. read ing room, where all may enjoy them. We believe that a word of appre ciation is due to Miss Atherton in regard to the Sunday evening con certs which have occurred during the year. In the ordinary course of college events, music is scarce. This fact is especially evident to those who before coming here en- joyed the pleasure of hearing good music. These concerts, coming as they do at a time when all may en joy them, serve to brighten the somewhat monotonous round of daily work. The comparatively good attendance shows that they are enjoyed More baseball games among the different sections are being played this year than ever before. The field near the orchard is rough and in bad shape generally. Why not, at the expenditure of a little time or money, have the ground put in such shape that the game a: a y be played without danger to the players ? Three-baggers and sensational plays are frequent in these games, but they should not be made at the risk of serious injury to the players. ARE YOU ONE OF THESE? There are on the books of the State Collegian about 200 unpaid subscriptions at $1.50 per. If this money were all paid in there would be no doubt of the solidity of the paper's financial standing for the current year. We have said before that a college paper needs the sup port of the student body, and still there are many men who seem to feel that their responsibility is limited to telling the Manager sev eral times during year, "I'll give it to you (or mail it to you) next week." The time comes round; the money—seldom. Do you wish the paper to continue during the coming years ? If so, and if you haven't paid up, kindly produce, and we'll endeavor to produce the paper. The recent improvement in the cover of the Collegian is a result
