Considering the many college journals of the present day, their popularity in the college world, and the fact that almost every college and every preparatory school of any rank has one or more publications, it seems strange that a college so large and well-known as Wellesley has not before this entered the field of college journalism. Ability can certainly not be wanting, and there is surely enough enterprise for such an undertaking among four or five hundred American young ladies.

Let us, then, by another year, have an opportunity to welcome - say, a Wellesley Phoenix, which shall have arisen during the summer vacation from the flames of burning emulation, and which shall not partake too much of the frivolity of the Leaves nor yet of the prosiness of the Miscellany, but shall be a typical young woman's journal, full of good sense and brightness, interesting prose and characteristic poetry.
