The plan recently adopted at Princeton, and mentioned in another column, of publishing a magazine devoted particularly to special investigation and papers by the students in the different departments of the college, seems to deserve consideration here at Harvard. Our university is certainly large enough to support such a quarterly, and the advantages to be derived from it would be considerable. In many of our departments work is now done very creditable to the college and the individuals alike; and the aggregate amount of this special work is quite sufficient to fill a fair-sized quarterly. The privilege, too, of having their work published would tend to increase the care already taken by the members of advanced courses in preparing their papers. The thought of these men, though it may be at times a little immature, were it published would prove of value as well as of interest both to the college at large and to the public. The publication of such a quarterly as that just started at Princeton, though no easy task, would be another justification of Harvard's password, "progress."
