...from various college papers, presenting on the whole we think a fair representation of the average run of college "poetry." Better than any words of our own could do we have thus afforded our readers an opportunity to judge for themselves of the general character of productions of this sort and to forecast perhaps what prospects the academic world holds forth to the great public at large for the production of future poetic genius. This prospect it cannot be denied is bad, is all but hopelessly bad. And yet there is one hope. Our selections while fairly representative...
...other ministers who also show "the vast political influence of the New England clergy in the agitations of those times" are Jonathan Mayhew and Charles Chauncey. Jonathan Mayhew was "in the pulpit, a sort of tribune of the people." Charles Chauncey was "a man of leonine heart, of strong, cool brain, of uncommon moral strength. He bore a great part in the intellectual strife of the revolution; but before that strife opened, he bad moulded deeply the thought of his time, both by his living speech and by his publications."

The best representative of this sort of college journal is the Yale Lit, an excellent paper in its way, and one that we believe is well supported, as it deserves to be. But the distinctive American college journal is of an entirely different character. In this country we generally go to the general magazines for such literature...
...coming year would do well to consider the plan suggested by President Lowell, in his address read at the last meeting of the association. We refer to his project of instituting class championships in the fall and winter meetings. Class flags or trophies of some sort, to be given to the class winning the most victories, would arouse a healthy class feeling. Each class would do it sutmost to bring forward all available candidates in the effort to win this trophy. This rivalry between the classes would increase the number of entries and have a direct bearing upon the success...
