 A copy of the Normal magazine may now be seen in the library. This i5 | the first student publication that has 1 ever appeared in print although the l excellent society papers of that institu- 1 tion have given the students training | in college journalism. The magazin contains some well written articles, | but most of these articles have be srl 1 contributed by prominent citizens or by | members of the faculty, rather than by the students of the Normal. num- Der of half-tones showing the beautiful ! grounds and buildings, basides phcto. | graphs of the faculty and short bl- | ographies setting forth the qualihca- tions of the several teachers serve os an excellent medium for advertlsine the advantages offered by that inssi- tuition.
 Several articles are strictly stu -ent productions and few spicy jokes sug- gest the up to date college paper. Or the whole the publication is a credi- table one and is worthy of a more permanent binding than is found on tn present copies. With so successful ar | advent into Journalism it is to be hopad that the Normal will hereafter have g
 regular college publication.
