STUDENTS' LITERARY ACTIVITIES.
THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA MAGAZINE.
Founded 1838.
The University of Virginia Magazine, designed to encourage
literary work among the students, is published by the students with
the advisory assistance of the Linden Kent Memorial School of
English Literature, eight months of the session. Its editorial staff
consists of an editor-in-chief and four associate editors, a business
manager, and a treasurer.
As a further stimulus to literary activity, the University of
Virginia Magazine offers every year three medals: one for the best
poem, one for the best short story, and one for the best essay, of
student authorship and appearing in one of the numbers of the publication
for each scholastic year. The awards are made by alumni
committees, one committee for each of the three medals.
