The young ladies at Vassar consider "Guerndale" to be characterized by "labored dullness," but with "John Inglesant" they are charmed, and one of them, through ten pages of the Vassar Miscellany, indulges in an acute psychological analysis of the book-an analysis, by the way, that is exceedingly well done. If one were to judge from the Miscellany one must conclude that the tone of thought at Vassar is predominatingly literary and philosophical. As an exponent of this turn of mind the Miscellany is very successful and might furnish an interesting subject of study for one curious to mark the stage of development in the higher education of women reached at Vassar. It displays a bracing freshness and originality of thought tempered by a pleasant humor that we believe is not approached in any other student publication in this country; while in ease and propriety of literary style it is only rivalled by the publications of the students of Williams.
