...major or second part in the Senior. Of the Navy officers, the Lord High Admiral is usually he who has been sent from college the greatest number of times; the Vice-Admiral is the poorest scholar in the class; the Rear-Admiral, the laziest fellow in the class; the Commodore; one addicted to boating; the Captain a jolly blade; the Lieutenant and Midshipman fellows of the same description; the Chaplain the most profane; the Surgeon a dabbler in surgery, or in medicine or anything else; the Ensign the tallest member of the class; the Boatswain one most inclined to obscenity...

Now it seems to us that college men of literary taste would take great pleasure in making the acquaintance of their fellow-editors in other colleges. Why should not an association, organized for social as well as journalistic purposes, be a most successful instrument for bringing together men of similar tastes in friendly intercourse? We see no reason why the proposed intercollegiate press association should not be a great success. We hope...
