...DYER.SENIOR FORENSICS.The first Forensic will be due November 2. Subjects: 1. Is Labor in the United States unjustly oppressed by Capital? 2. Are the creations of the fine arts subject to rule? 3. Is there any other aim in life than that of the pursuit of happiness...

In respect to the character and objects of such a publication, I think that it should be published monthly and should aim at representing what is best and most characteristic in college life. It should resemble in some degree both the Atlantic Monthly and Harper's Weekly. It should have a few carefully drawn illustrations so as not to make it of too sober or of too literary a cast; but, above...
