Next logical development of the exchange professorship idea in our colleges should be the establishment of an exchange between institutions of the North and the South. Harvard has already its exchanges with Europe and with a group of four Western colleges. It is time that we should give like recognition to a great section of our country which has several institutions that are the peers of many in the North.

...Norris lets his penchant for the pictorial run away with him. It is true he speaks no more of the sea as "an enchanted moan," but allows the moon to shine brightly on a snowy hill above which is a black sky. Nevertheless, a pretty movement runs throughout, the idea is splendid, and the verses are well finished...
