UNIVERSITY REPORTER. 37 EXCHANGES. • The October and Movsmber numbers of the Emory Phoenix have been 'aid on our table. The October : umber contains some very un necessary remarks about the University and its need of guns, and proposes to furnish us with some English Grammar instead. Mr. Mc Gregor at the corner has a good supply of these goods and is well pat ronized by our students. It makes one smile to hear the Phoenix speak of the English couurse at Emory as superior that of any col lege in the state. The November number is far the best and most readable ever issued from the Phoenix office. The editorial on “ Sec tarian College ” is well written but is no more than one could expect from the pen of an Emor^ man. As to the moral effects it appears to one who has attended both sectarian and non-sectarian colleges that the latter class are just as well calculated to improve the morals of a boy as the former. The trouble is oftener in the student then in the college. The appeal for an annual should be heard and the advice of the writer followed. A well gotten up anuual will do as much to ad vertise a school as many hundreds of do lars spent on one inch adver tisements in county papers. Mercer and the University each have annuals. « The Viginia University Magazine for October is full of interesting matter. The article on ‘'Governmental Control of the Great Railway systems of the Country” is well written. “A Simple Story of Ye Olden Time” is written in a very attractive style and is just long e- nough to be interesting. “A Young Lawyer’s Soliloquy” is respect fully referred to the Law Class for thier perusal.' There is but one thing to be criticised in this excelleht magazine and that is the lead ing article which is too long and takes up too much space. We are indebted to the Magazine for a number of College notes. The Sfentorfrom Lake Forest University is a small pamphlet and contains very little of interest to the college world at large, though it may contain much that is interesting to the L. F. U. students and her graduates. As regards merit it is a striking contrast to the Virginia University Magazine. The Lantern of the Ohio State University seems to be dissatisfied with the support it is receiving from the students. From their col umns one is liable to conclude that there is a reformer at the head of the institution, and in his work he has not by any means the co-op eration of the students. This is generally the case. The Lehigh Burr is among our brightest and best exchanges. It is carefully edited, and, typographically speaking, has no superior in the world of college papers. Football receives a large share of the space in the December number. Lehigh holds a very enviable posi tion in college athletics. It speaks very badly for the literary talent of the Mercer students that they have no college paper. The societies should take hold of the matter and work it up.
