The Xaverian, the annual edited by the pupils of St. Francis Xavier's College, Kew, Melbourne, is to hand, and a very creditable volume it is. It is tastefully got up, liberally illustrated, and contains a quantity of reading matter which will interest many outside of those directly connected with the institution. The magazine is not devoted solely to a record of College doings. Even the record of College work, whether in the claes room or in the athletio field, is told in a bright and chatty style, which shows that the youthful editors know how to cater for their many readers. On the whole the Xaverian is creditable alike to the College and the printers.
