THE Era has found a novel subject of complaint, namely, the too close proximity of a certain pigsty to one of the college buildings, and advises the proprietor thereof, if he wishes to continue his stock-raising with security to the stock, to find a more fitting locality for his operations. We believe that the nearness of a pigsty is an absolutely new subject of complaint among the college press, and we hail it as such. The article called "He was from Harvard" is very flat, besides being extremely questionable in point of taste. We hope that the Advocate can survive the severe grind it contains. Among the items we learn that a Young Men's Infidel Association has been started, with a membership of thirty. O wicked, depraved Cornell! A pigsty in the college yard is bad enough, but an Infidel Association is far worse. What will the Niagara Index say?

THE October number of the Hamilton Lit. is too heavy, as usual. Here are the titles of some of the articles: "An Ancient and Modern Battle as Typical of the Old and the New Civilization," "Humanity in Poetry," "True Partisanship," "A Criticism on the Representative Orators of the American Bar." How long will it be before the average college student finds out that he cannot write much that is worth reading on such subjects? He evidently has not found it out yet.

THE Argus complains of the "undignified scramble" which takes place in the chapel every morning as soon as "Amen" is pronounced from the pulpit. We were not surprised to hear of such a deplorable state of things at Yale, but Wesleyan ought to be able to set a better example.
