PROSPECTUS.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

     THE COLLEGIAN will be published each month of the College year, by the Belles Lettres and Union Philosophical Societies, and shall be conducted by a joint editorial committee from the two societies. The Collegian will be printed in neat magazine form by Messrs. Collins of Philadelphia; each Number containing 24 pages, octavo, of entirely original matter.
     Its contents shall be of purely literary character; and the Editors will sedulously avoid anything of a personal or sectarian nature; yet it shall be at all times open to free expression of thoughts and opinion.
     Out principal objectives are, to state them briefly, in the first place, to obtain revenue for the increase of the Libraries of the Literary Societies; and secondly, to furnish to graduates a means of communication with their Alma Mater.
     Yet we flatter ourselves that we can render our Periodical a welcome visitor to all who will patronize us.
     PRICE $1 00, invariably in advance - persons sending ten Subscribers shall be entitles to an eleventh copy gratis. Graduates and old members of the Societies are earnestly solicited to act as agents. Address, post paid, "Editors of the Collegian," Carlisle, Pa.
