Sometimes your luxurious student will rouse himself, and work hard and faithfully for a time; but after his task is over, he will go back to his arm-chair and his pipe, and take up "Dream Life," or read a canto of "Don Juan." This gentleman intends to get all out of life that he can, according to his ideas; and you will nearly always find him the same luxury-loving man all through life.
The college politician is a peculiar creature. He gives most of his attention to wire-pulling, and sometimes seeks the advancement of others than himself. He is frequently quite shrewed, and can influence his circle of admirers, cultivate animosities, or soften an afront with as much ease as if he were a congressman from our own sunflower state. The college politician is very likely to continue in his chosen vocation, and will probably attain the enviable position of ward boss or local manager for some political master.
However, he is a harmless creature, and only interferes with some other aspiring individual of his own class.

The Nebraskan contains a short article against the literary college magazine. The idea seems to be that the magazine has no place among college publications. The writer appears to think that the ordinary weekly paper, which is devoted mainly to matters of local interest, is all that is needed in a progressive institution. If that is so, how does the writer account for the fact that our college magazines often outlive several weekly or daily publications in the same institution?
