---We have refrained from publishing any of the many compliments the Courier has been receiving from its subscribers and exchanges, lest it might savor of self-adulation. The three following, however, we give, as showing what the magazine is thought of abroad, at the same time thanking our many friends for their kind expressions:
"The Courier is far in advance of any paper ever published in the University. One would think that its competitor would improve, being such an old magazine."
"When I read the Courier I feel that I am with you all again. It has three strong points: 1. it comes twice a month;2. It devotes itself to college affairs rather than dry insipid generalities;3. It criticises freely, and shows the "downs' as well as the "ups" of University life."
"I am much pleased with the late number of your Courier, and can truly add my testimony to your assertion that it has vastly improved since its incipience, while its appearance has also been much enhanced. Every department is a credit to its editor, and it is to be hoped that neither will its tone suffer any degeneration nor that it may want for a sustaining patronage in the future."
---The first annual contest of the State Oratorical Association comes off next Friday evening. To add to the interest of the competitors J. S.
