THE INDICATOR:

A Literary Periodical, Conducted by Students of Amherst College.

The want of a periodical like this has been strengly felt in this Institution; and the success with which others have been conducted in sister Institutions, and formerly here also, has inspired the hope, that in our present prosperity, ample support for one might be found, both in a literary and pecuniary point of view.

It will strive to be, as its name purports, a faithful INDICATOR of the literary taste, spirit, and acquirements, of the undergraduates of Amherst College, and of course will be composed principally of articles furnished by them. At the same time we shall hold ourselves at liberty to enrich its pages with the productions of any who have in former times been connected with the Institution, and whose kind offers enable us to promise a magazine worthy of Amherst College, her Alumni, and Students. For this reason we are emboldened to commend our undertaking to all in any way interested in our beloved Alma Mater, confident that from them it will receive a hearty and generous support, so long as it may continue to merit it. Three numbers of the Indicator will be issued term, containing each not less than 32 pages 8 vo. pography will be in no respect inferior to other same nature.
