...receipt of a copy of Mr. Fuller's new novel, "Forever and a Day." The author's name and works have long been known to readers of the college press, and this, his first work, will not disappoint those whose expectations have been based upon his former excellent sketches. The scene is laid in the town of Penford, not a dozen miles from Boston, and the author, under the guise of a novel, describes exceedingly well the society and people of one of the many smaller towns which surround Boston and serve as homes for those whose business calls them...

"Let us," it says, "discuss in our departments matters of general interest to the college press, and college world; create an inter-collegiate feeling beyond the mere exchange of college publications. There is enough which concerns us all, to make at least one department of our publications reach farther than our own campus confines." The growth of such a feeling is, we think, coming naturally in the course of events. Inter-collegiate sports, races and meetings...
