OUR EXCHANGES.

The Cornell Review this month is "weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable." All the articles are heavy and uninteresting. Our advice to the Editors is, to copy the Yale Lit. and give more light reading.

AN Illinois Freshman has the reputation of having thus outwitted a pert Senior. Senior. "Do you know why our college is such a learned place?" Freshman. "Of course; the Freshmen all bring a little learning here, and as the Seniors never take any away, it naturally accumulates." - University Reporter.

THE Oberlin Review is principally taken up with two four-column articles on "Conscience in History" and "Coleridge and Modern Thought." We confess that we were unable to finish either of them. A prize essay, however, is promised for next time, and we look forward to this with great interest.

A REPORT is abroad that the mathematical division of Sophomores have been warned against stopping to get anything of a stimulating nature while on excursions. The tendencies of mathematical studies have long been suspected, and now the proof is conclusive. Shall we hesitate any longer to hurl mathematics from our curriculum? - Williams Athenoeum.

THE Round Table has a prize essay, nearly eight columns in length, on "Individuality and Individualism." We did not have courage enough to get further than the title. It is in a state of great excitement over a coming lecture by the Rev. Joseph Cook, and urges its readers to show their "appreciation of his unexcelled talent" by a large attendance.

IN speaking of class suppers the Courant gives its readers this sage advice: "If you must go on a 'tear,' do it when the blue leads the crimson. If she does n't, then do it because she failed to do it. Drown your grief, if you can't celebrate a victory." We sincerely hope that the Yale men will have a chance to "drown their grief." The usual cut is poorly enough drawn, and the joke beneath it is still worse. It may be intelligible to the Yale mind, but we are obliged to confess that the point is too deep for us.

THE May number of the Yale Lit. is by far the best of our exchanges this week, and is really excellent. The leader on "Some Books" is well written and contains much sound common-sense. "The Light-Keeper's Story" is an interesting and thrilling tale, and altogether a very creditable production. Want of space prevents us from noticing the other articles, but they are all good. The only criticism we have to make on the Lit. is the insertion of so many baseball scores and so much society news. Why not leave such things as these for the Courant and Record?
