The REVIEW is issued each alternate Tuesday of the College year. Students and graduates are cordially invited to contribute articles, letters and Alumni notes. It is for the interest of every Oberlin teacher, student and citizen that the College paper be made as readable and attractive as may be. The REVIEW visits in its semi monthly issues no less than seventy-five different colleges of this country, and is justly considered the exponent of the true life and activity of our College. It is a criterion by which the College is judged. Now, in order that we may have a live paper, the greatest essential is a long subscription list.

We are naturally better acquainted in the classes above, than in those below us, and are apt, thoughtlessly it is true, to ignore the "preps;" when a little kind attention might soothe many a home-sick heart.

It is with no little hesitancy that we undertake a work in which we have had so little experience as in college journalism, and when so many opinions are rife in the college world as to what should constitute the make-up of a college paper. But with the responsibility laid upon us we shall enter upon the work, hop ing that in our endeavors to make the paper a have become respectable with us. Experience success we may have the hearty co-operation of has taught us in the past, however, that these our fellow students.

We would have the students feel that year or more, is to get some good entertainthe paper is their paper, and that its success ment to come to Oberlin in its behalf. depends largely upon the support they are willing to give it. The columns of the paper will ever be open to undergraduates, members of the College faculty and alumni, for communications upon any subject relating to College affairs. It seems to us that no better plan exists for bringing the attention of the students to what may be termed "needed reforms," than by making the facts known to them through a concise and pointed communication to their official organ-the College paper. Last year the Faculty kindly granted permission allowing the Amherst Glee Club to give an entertainment in Oberlin, but owing to some change in their plans they could not come. This fall they are again in the field and anxious to come to Ohio. The Club is under the management of two former Oberlin students, and would doubtless give us the best of terms and entertainment in their power, and we are sure would be enthusiastically received by the students of Oberlin.
