labor, and the list of its contributors extends from Chancellor James H. Canfield to Professor Geo. E. Woodberry, formerly of Nebraska University, now of Columbia College, distinguished as poet, author, and biographer of Poe. The magazine is handsomely printed and contains 62 pages of literary matter. The paper is heavy, and the margins are unusually wide, so that the magazine appears almost as large as one of the regular monthlies.

It is not proposed that all contributors shall be men like Chancellor Canfield or Professor Woodberry, but that the magazine shall represent the best literary work done in the University of Nebraska, and such other universities as may join in its support. The articles and poems of the first number are for the most part written by students; and while they all have a true literary flavor, the enjoyment of which is materially enhanced by the quality of the paper and the exact proofreading, it is still evident that while there are some among us who write worse, there are others who write as well; and the comparison is by no means discouraging. But the expense and the labor of publishing a purely literary periodical are discouraging, and

Perhaps we may soon feel a disposition to take hold with them, and thus lighten their burden while securing at a minimum risk a distinctive medium of expression for our own best literary work.
Finally, though this article is intended as a review and not as an advertisement, it may not be out of place to state that there are a few copies of the Nebraska Literary Magazine at the University Book Store.

Mrs. C. F. Dougherty, nee Lottie Barber, has just returned from her fall trip east, and she has brought with her the latest novelties in hats and trimmings. She is showing the finest line of Knox sailor school hats ever brought to Lawrence. The University girl that wants "to do the nobby" will not be without some of these lovely sailors.
