A COMPLETELY SHAKESPE REAN MAGAZINE. first the Probably completely Shakesperean magazine ever printed will be brought forth this year by one of the higher English classes.

T h e re may be some "special o r d e r s" for those particularly gifted in one definite line. T he magazine project is entirely apart the regular work of the class, but from the recitation- room it will be possible to take much that will be of help in the writing-up of t he periodical.
