University of Virginia Library

University Publications.

The Alumni Bulletin is published
quarterly by a committee of the faculty.
As the name indicates, this magazine is
intended to contain articles and items of
special interest to the alumni of the institution;
yet it is at the same time a periodical
of more or less general interest.
It also serves as a sort of convenient and
permanent record, or chronicle, of the
important events and achievements in
the life of the University, as well as of
many in the careers of the alumni. Its
historical value will be enhanced with
the lapse of time. Each issue contains
about 100 pages; the yearly subscription
price is $1.00 a year.

The University Record.—This is a
new periodical, issued monthly except
July and August, at the nominal price of
25 cents a year. The pages are of the
same size as those of the Alumni Bulletin,
but the number of pages may vary
considerably from time to time, as the
needs of the occasion require. This publication
is intended to serve the convenience
of the press, the alumni, the students,
and the public generally, by presenting
in concise form timely announcements
and official information regarding
the condition, progress, and plans of the
University. Students will find the Record
of particular value for quick reference
in respect to many phases of their
courses and classes.

The University of Virginia Magazine
is published monthly, eight times during
the school year, and is intended not
only for the instruction and entertainment
of the student body and the reading
public, but also for the encouragement
and development of literary taste
and skill among the young men of the
University, by placing in their hands
the opportunity for practical journalism,
governed constantly by the highest standards
and ideals. Each number of the
magazine contains from 80 to 100 pages,
filled with stories, essays, poems, reviews,
and easy chair chats. A prize of
the value of $25 is given each year for the
best story, and two others of equal value
for the best essay and poem, respectively.
Under the editorship of Mr. L. R.
Whipple, and the supervision of the
Kent school of literature, the magazine
will doubtless maintain, if not advance,
the high rank it has occupied for years
among the best college publications of
America. The subscription price is
$1.50.

College Topics, the University newspaper,
is a large sheet of eight pages,
published weekly or semi-weekly, during
the greater part of the session, at the subscription
price of $2 a year. The athletic
and social life of the University are presented
in detail through the Topics columns.

Corks and Curls.—A splendid annual,
representing practically all of the phases
of college life, is published under this
title by a board of editors chosen from the
Greek Letter fraternities. The number
of this year (1907) is volume XX; and,
like those of the several preceding sessions,
is a handsomely printed, illustrated,
and bound quarto of some 300 pages,
selling at $3.

The Y. M. C. A. Handbook.—At the
opening of each session there is distributed
to the students from Madison Hall,
the Y. M. C. A. building, a vest-pocket
handbook, in which is given a mass of
information that every man in college
needs to have at his finger's end. In
form for ready consultation, the handbook
presents the calendar for the year,
schedules of lectures and examinations,
gives the accepted yells and most familiar
songs, and commends itself in numberless
ways as a vade mecum to every
student.

University Directory.—About October
25 of each session the managers of
the Young Men's Christian Association
complete and issue gratis from Madison
Hall a full directory, bound in size convenient
for the pocket, giving the names
and college addresses of all students.

The Association Record.—This is a
pamphlet issued at the close of each session,
giving a complete record of the
year's religious work of the University.
Copies may be obtained from Dr. H. M.
McIlhany, the general secretary of the
Y. M. C. A.

Madison Hall Notes is a four-page
weekly, published by the Association,
and distributed free to professors and
students. It will be sent to other persons
by mail for a small subscription price.
It contains reports and announcements
of all religious activities at the University,
together with many other things of
interest, and gives each week on the last
page the official bulletin of the University
for the succeeding week.

Every student, particularly every new
student, should attend the informal
opening reception given to the students
in Madison Hall, one evening within the
first week of the session. Notice of the
date of the meeting will be posted.
