tion. Sympathy between alumni and the undergraduate body is perhaps as weak at Tufts as at any college; and there is no excuse for this, for there is everything about the institution to engage and hold the affection of its students. We have received a prospectus of a magazine entitled John-aDreams, which, though not a college paper, must be interesting from its unique character. It is an unusually good specimen of careful typography, but it is its peculiar aims which make it noteworthy. It purports to exist solely for the sake of literature. In the words of the editors, " Its matter shall be selected in accordance with no canon save those of the purest literary art." The following-out of this plan apparently requires the adoption of numerous original details; for example, preference is expressed for anonymous or pseudonymous articles. It will be interesting to watch the success of this venture. The College Folio presents its usual interesting number, containing several good sketches. The Wellesley Magazine has a very good study of Alfred de Vigny. The Hamilton Literary Monthly is noticeable for the large amount of space it devotes to the alumni. Besides the long Alumniana column, the chief article in the current number is an essay by an old graduate. The Georgetown College Journal contains a long article on "The Poetry of Tennyson," which is mostly quotations from the poet. |
