When it was first proposed to hold an intercollegiate debating contest, we looked upon the plan with disfavor, and it must be confessed that the first debate did not tend to lessen this feeling materially, though considering their inexperience, the Harvard speakers did themselves credit.

Professor William J. Stillman's paper on "Journalism and literature" will be read with disfavor by the journalist and with more or less pleasure by the litterateur. He advises no young man with literary ambitions to go on a daily journal unless the literature of a day's performance satisfies his ambition.
