...Spectator (Union College) closes Vol. I. in its last issue. We compliment it on its fine appearance and the peace that has existed in time past between The Spectator and The College Journal. The number now before us is full of interest to students and outside contributors. Their success is insured if the new editors make Vol. II. as good as the last number...
...learn from the Record that a member of '75, at Harvard, has favored that journal with a communication containing information with reference to the ball and boating interests, and the relation of '75 to each of the college papers. This aspirant for the favors of the Record is treated rather gingerly by that paper. In the first place, the editors refuse to permit a letter from an anonymous correspondent; in the second place, they do not like the idea of having a correspondent; in the third place, they say that not even a knowledge of his name would justify them...
...Oxford Undergraduates' Journal says: `It is with sincere pleasure that we are able to make mention of the many good classes taken last term in the schools by rowing men.

Another who would enforce his opinions, on consulting his friend, finds that his essay has been unread. Such rebuffs are naturally disheartening...
...Georgetown College Journal, by its typographical appearance, would never lead one to suppose that all the type-setting was done by students, which, however, is the fact. We are told in it that they have a college band, but it is nowhere said, as in most of our other exchanges, that they propose to enter a crew for the next regatta. Perhaps the most entertaining piece is the advertisement informing students that Hall and Hume still sell their unequalled Catawba wine at $2 per gallon...
