College World. THE INTER-STATE CONTEST. The only college paper that has reached us as yet containing an account of this contest, is the Illini. If we were to form a judgment from its report we should say that the contest was pretty "rocky" and much below the average. But we think that the Illini has, for the purpose of being funny, indulged a little too freely in sarcastic and caustic remarks. It dishes up the various contestants in a pretty severe manner and has very little good to say about any of them. Some of its criticism though harsh, are perhaps well enough, but many of them are undignified and unworthy the public utterance of any gentleman. For instance it says of Mr. House, the representative from Nebraska: "His voice was high and weak, his hand hung like the tail of a fish out of water. Ungraceful and ill-fitted by his tail, it was a task to look at him." Such utterances are undignified, mean and are a disgrace to their author. Our own representative has rather the best notice given Of him it says: "Phil Campbell, of Baker University, Kansas, spoke on What of the Republic." His voice, of good power, made a relief to the ear. Though not too precise in pronunciation, he spoke clearly and pleasantly, keeping the favor of the audience by his fine climaxes and antitheses. These oratorical beauties were partly nullified by a disconnected manner of treatment. After his twenty-minute speech his lady friends gave him a boquet. Illinois won first place, Indiana second, Kansas third, Minnesota fourth, Wisconsin fifth, Ohio sixth, Colorado seventh, Iowa eighth, Nebraska ninth If there is one thing which the southern colleges are particularly noted for it is for producing an inferior lot of college journals. Not over a dozen respectable publications are issued by college students south of Mason and Dixon's line. At the head of these few and second-to-none-student paper in the country, stands the University Magazine, printed at Raleigh, N.C. Its literary department is well filled, its editorials are well written and its exchange column the best we have seen for many a week. A slight error occurred in its write up of the great colleges of the country, in crediting K. S. U. with but 200 students. We have 500, Mr. Exchange Editor, and the finest Natural History collection west of the Allegahnies. Please correct this and receive the right hand of fellowship from the Kansas State University. A little paper,called, if we remember aright, the Westminister Review, published at some second rate academy or other,down near Sedalia, Mo., criticises us for publishing too much home news and being too local.When we get to publishing a paper for North America and the rest of the solar system we will try to please everybody and will put in something to amuse the papers who dead-head about 200 of our papers for exchanges, but until then we will publish a sheet to please bona fida subscribers only.
