The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1906

The Forlorn hope

The Forlorn hope.

Our readers may quite possibly remember that there were three prizes offered at the beginning of this half in connection with The Spike; one was for a literary contribution, one for a sketch, and the other for a story. It is sad to think that there has not been a single response. This is all the more remarkable when viewed in the light of the numerous pieces of gratuitous advice, (which we have hitherto borne in all meekness and humility) suggesting better methods of conducting such a magazine as this. Of the other students attending this College, 372 out of 375 have confidentially informed us that The Spike should absolutely bristle with point and coruscate with wit. We need hardly say that the three students who mercifully refrained were the former editor and his two subs. We did think our cash offer would elicit something concrete from our critics to illustrate their theories on the conduct of college magazines.
