In its last number the Miscellany discusses the proposition for an Intercollegiate Press Association, and in its discussion displays its usual acuteness and "sweet reasonableness," surpassing in these respects any of the suggestions in the matter previously advanced by any of the original advocates of the scheme. The suggestions it makes are certainly novel, but well worthy of consideration. The objects of the association, it says, it understands would be as follows: "First, the elevation of the tone of college journalism, not only by the mental friction among the magazines and papers enlisted in the association from the first, but by the stimulus to all others implied in the fact that subsequent admission to its ranks will depend only upon literary merit. Upon this latter point, to our thinking, the success or failure of the whole thing depends. Admission must never be allowed to degenerate into a matter of favoritism between individuals or colleges. Secondly, the promotion of good fellowship and an amiable emulation between the different colleges, and, thirdly, the inauguration of a system whereby each college shall be made responsible for the authenticity of its own news. Furthermore, it wishes that the association be made inter-national as well as inter-collegiate, and that the Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduates' Journal and the Girton Review be invited to join.

The spirit and aims of our Vassar contemporary are high and altogether worthy. If the rest of the college world will but join in the scheme with as sincere and earnest a purpose as is exhibited by our sisters at Vassar, its outcome and uses would no longer remain uncertain.
