much of truth there is in this report, one
thing seems certain, that even possessions

result is a rowing in far-off lands, to seek

COLLEGE JOURNALISM.

Says the Nashville Advocate: WThe
EH''1 Question as tc how far the authorities Of
an institution Of learning are responsible
for the periodicals issued by its students
is one that ought to be settled. Some Of
the college papers that reach this Office
are below the level of backguardism. If
the higher education of the land is to be
judged by its literary output then it is
not thing to be wholly commended.
The matter is one that needs vertils ton.
However UNPLEASANT the task NAV he we
propose to undertake it, 1t is time to
inquire whether the fine spirit of, gentle
mani!ness that once prevailed among
southern students is TO he thrust out b,
coarse and brawny Philistinism."
And the Auvocate is right The time
was when our college magazines were e
