The movement set on foot by the Board of Trustees to advance the interests of Trinity exerts a stimulating influence upon the College itself. The students, feeling the impetus given, have entered heartily into sympathy with the new management. That another door to literary work might be opened to them, they have planned and, with the approbation of the Faculty, established The Archive. Its columns will receive and preserve their best work. Dull efforts to say nothing in many words, mild platitudes on ancient classics, and meanderings through hazy sentiment will be buried in the dust of the top-shelf along with “Which is mightier, the pen or the sword?” A concise statement, however, of original investigation in any department, whether from student or from member of the Faculty, will be welcomed; for it has been determined that its aim shall not be solely a literary one. It is desired, also, that the paper be a means of communication between College and patrons. To this end, the circulation will be extended as far as possible over the territory covered by the North Carolina Conference. Trinity news, Trinity interests, Trinity announcements will be made prominent. The co-operation of clergy and laity, especially of the Alumni, is asked in putting The Archive into general circulation; for Trinity claims as her patrons the whole membership of the Conference.

The responsibility of publication is undertaken by the two Literary Societies. The two Managers and ten Editors are chosen out of their members, and the Professor of English has been designated Censor. Training in journalism is a legitimate part of College work. A proposition, however, to establish a Chair of Journalism merits the jocular tone with which the press has greeted it. The practical exercise afforded in publishing a paper helps to make ready writers, and is a valuable auxiliary to the regular course.

4The College dominates the village, and liquor cannot gain a foot-hold. Friends of the institution could not lay too much stress upon the fact. It is a comforting assurance to parents that their sons will not be exposed to this temptation. Trinity lies next to a strong temperance community, and there is no danger that rum-shops will be set up just beyond the College limits.

Examinations for admission to College classes will be held twice a year, in June and in September, on the latter date exclusively at Trinity College, beginning at ten A. M. on the day before the opening. Applicants for admission in 1888 will be required to stand examinations on the following subjects:

1.

Arithmetic, including Metric System;

2.

Algebra to Quadratics;

3.

History of the United States;

4.

English Grammar and Analysis;

5.

Geography, Descriptive and Physical;

6.

Physiology and Hygiene;

7.

Latin Grammar, three Books of Cæsar.

All students, on coming up to enter, will be required to fill out a blank form of enrollment.

The entrance examinations, though this year necessarily incomplete, have secured beneficial results.

The students have in the main fallen into their proper classes without waiting for the regular examinations to show them their mistake.

In the A. B. Course, fourteen hours a week in recitation will be required of the Seniors. Six hours will be filled by assigned subjects, the other eight being made up out of subjects chosen by the student. The same number of hours will be required of those applying for the Ph. B. degree, but there will be eight hours assigned work to six hours elective.

The recitation rooms are full. Larger ones with more black-board space will be a pressing need, if the numbers grow. The preparatory department also demands that help which its importance merits. Will the Methodists of North Carolina see it, too, firmly established and able to offer all the advantages of a well-equipped school? Other denominations, as well as the State, are doing this. Few boys will remain for a sentiment; they go where the greatest inducements lie.

Till Congress meets and while Congress shall wrangle over measures, there is daily piled up in the national Treasury a dangerous balance withdrawn from circulation. Wall street is nervous. Some permanent relief must be devised. High tariff has the majority and must solve the problem. The Nation says:

“Looking about for some lamb to 5slaughter or some pig to shear, the protectionists have fixed their eyes upon the sugar-planters as the class likely to yield the largest fleece with the least squealing. The revenue from sugar is upwards of $50,000,000; the number of planters is very small. Although they have been reinforced to some extent by the manufacturers of glucose and a few sorghum and beet-root enthusiasts, they amount altogether to a very feeble contingent. Sugar is an article of prime necessity. * * * * *

“Accordingly we find such admirable defenders of protection as Senators Sherman, Dawes and Hiscock advocating a reduction or repeal of the duties on sugar, with a compensating bounty to the growers of cane, beets, &c., at home. * * * * *

“A bounty of $7,000,000 a year to the sugar-planters, paid by warrants drawn on the Treasury, would be a very different thing in appearance from a like bounty paid under the operation of the tariff, although it would be the same thing in fact. A bounty of $17,000,000 to the steel-rail makers, if paid directly from the Treasury, could not last a year. Yet that bounty has been paid during the present year in the indirect method of customs duties. We can think of nothing more likely to expose protection to irresistible assaults than the adoption of the bounty system in any single instance. We cannot believe that the high-tariff fraternity will be so short-sighted as to sanction it as part of their scheme of ‘tariff reform.’ We are persuaded that they will offer up the sugar-planters and the beet and sorghum cranks as a sacrifice without more ado, and be glad to get off so cheaply.”

It has been reserved for Reed and Kellogg from the foundation of the world to catch the Fleeting Thought and marry it to Geometry. O tempora! O mores!

English is rich in puzzles. Its orthography is a conundrum the size of “Webster’s Unabridged.” The foreign crew of printers that followed Caxton made high sport of rigging it out in fantastic shape. Then old Dr. Johnson fetched it a heavy blow with his paw and finished it. Presently China will offer her 50,000 symbols, or the pyramids will tender the use of their hieroglyphs, as a relief from this oppressive system.

Polydore de Keyser, Alderman for Farringdon Without, and a Roman Catholic, has been elected Lord Mayor of London,

Senator Leland Standford has in view the endowment of a university for California. His purpose is to build it with “a sole regard to the poor,” so that “no rich man’s son will want to come there.” This is as it should be. When the poor boys and girls of America find an opportunity to become educated men and women, they prove to be the strongest and most energetic workers in the cause of enlightenment; and all those who desire the perpetuity of our political, social and religious institutions hail this action of Mr. Standford with a special joy. Now, as never before in this century, does our country need great men at its head; and, if we survive, must we not look, as in the past crises, for our statesmen among the frugal and uncorrupted laboring class? Then let him who, having accumulated a goodly fortune of this world’s goods, desires to be remembered for his benevolence, not forget that in the intellectual and moral education of the masses lies the destiny of the grandest nation on earth.

Nothing is more vital to the welfare of a college than a good library. There is something else connected with the acquisition of an education, besides transferring to the mind the contents of text-books. It is necessary to get broad ideas and extended information on each subject. This can best be done by obtaining the opinion of several authors on that subject, for it is only when one has come to look at a subject from several standpoints that he can form a correct opinion relative to it. It is here that the library makes its influence felt by affording students access to works which, owing to their cost, they could not own. Those who contend that the function of the library is only supplemental to the college course, should remember that life also is supplemental to the college course, and that the college course is but introductory to the library function, both in turn being introductory to life and all three being links of the chain of enlightened existence, the removal of either of which would be detrimental.

The convicted anarchists now in the Chicago jail awaiting execution are making, through their friends, strenuous efforts to have their punishment lessened. A petition has been presented asking for a reprieve. The plea is that the peace will be preserved. While we boast a reasonable amount of mercy, still we can see nothing to 7commend to our favor a petition which is, at the same time, a threat. There is abundant evidence that the introduction of anarchists into our country is for no good, and now is the best time to strike a blow, which, being dealt against a pernicious organization in its incipiency, shall be all the more effective in crushing it. Many people imagine that, because eight thousand names have been secured to this petition, it deserves consideration; but, let the sense of the people at large be taken, and then we shall see how many million names of good American citizens, demanding the execution of this sentence as a safeguard to them in the enjoyment of their rights as free people, shall be secured. Where the safety of a nation is at stake, there is no place for timid sentiment in the hearts of those who are custodians of that safety. Then, since a “jury of twelve of their peers” has declared the six anarchists guilty, let them hang and let others of their organization take warning.

The policy of England toward Ireland as expressed in her dealings with O’Brien is peculiarly cowardly. It should not be the part of unaffected spectators to express themselves too strongly on either side of a national question like this, but no man, sane and honest, can know the facts in the case and not feel in his soul both contempt for the English government and sympathy for Ireland. That country is indeed to be pitied whose proud boast it is that the sun never sets on her dominion, and yet is under the guidance of a government which, to forward its purpose deems it necessary to resort to such measures as those employed against Ireland’s patriotic editor. The history of nations shows that a policy of oppression toward any part of a government will re-act disastrously on the oppressors, and the rulers of England, if they are wise, will adopt a conciliatory policy before they goad to desperation a race of people who have more than once shown themselves no unworthy foemen for some of the proudest armies of Europe. In the present condition of the international political affairs of our neighbors across the Atlantic, an outbreak in Ireland would mean something more than a rebellion to be crushed; and the sovereign, the beginning of whose reign was marked by serious trouble in the East, might close her career with that same East either entirely snatched from her hands by her Muscovite neighbor or the scene of a long struggle for the mastery.

Read the papers and what spirit of ferocity is often manifested in the 8“criminal columns.” There is an account of some wretched man who, after he has suffered death at the hands of an infuriated mob, has had his body riddled with bullets. Granting his crime merited death, there is no principle of justice in such action. It is a violation of that right which the English noblemen obtained from King John at Runnymede, the right of trial by jury. Moreover, it seems as if “judgment had fled to brutish beasts and men had lost their reason.” Besides usurping authority, the mob is moved by vengeance alone to inflict punishment. Every reasonable man should discountenance such procedure, but is at the same time desirous of the just execution of punishment upon him that doeth wrong.

The Nestor of Southern statesmen has recently given to the public his opinions on prohibition. We heartily agree with him that one of the strongest weapons possible for man to wield against the progress of intemperance is found in the duty of every mother to implant in the very souls of her children the true principles of temperance. While the children are young is the time to give lasting life to ideas which in later years will produce good results for the suppression of the liquor traffic and the elevation of mankind. But this weapon is not used so successfully as is necessary. We do not agree with Mr. Davis that any inalienable rights would be taken from the citizens by the success of a new political party with temperance for its issue. If the State needs and even demands a reform, if both Democrats and Republicans are afraid to touch the liquor problem, the formation of a party that does not fear to suppress social evils is a necessity. Times change, and parties must change. Moreover, it is no disgrace, nay, even it shows a spirit of fortitude for a man to change his politics, if he finds that he can better promote the welfare of his country. Slavery once impeded our healthy development and it took the organization of a party to abolish it. The impediment of our age is intemperance, and the demand of the times is some political force—call that force what you may—which will free us from the tendency toward degradation.

There will be contests this fall in several States, between the two political parties, and the press in its comments may attempt, as is too often done, to vilify the candidates of the opposite party. The best way to secure success is for both candidate and editor to treat every man according to 9his worth and not rely upon low ribaldry and exaggerated invective. The man who attempts to succeed through bitter recitals of the deeds of the past will not only offend the finer sensibilities of the best citizens but often stands in danger of defeat among his equals. Such a person ought to be put on the retired list and preserved as a specimen of humanity of two centuries ago. Every man is expected to be strong and enthusiastic for his party, but no man should so far forget the use of his reason as to call his neighbor a rascal simply on account of different political views. When a man’s character will not bear the test then let the press expose him. The publication of prejudiced accusations, and the display of cartoons devised by narrow-minded partisans tend only to corrupt our civilization. It is the purpose of The Archive to condemn whatever may be wrong in every political party and at the same time to maintain such views as can be considered at least liberal.

As we go to press, the two Literary Societies make a proposition to the Board of Trustees to raise $5000 for a combined library and society building, if the Board will raise a like amount. This proposition will be laid before the Executive Committee at their meeting in Greensboro, Nov. 4.

The Practical Elements of Rhetoric, with Illustrative Example, By John F. Genung, Ph. D. (Leipsic), Professor of Rhetoric in Amherst College. Boston: Ginn & Company. 1887. pp. xii, 488. Cloth.

This book has two parts, Style and Invention. Part First analyzes style, elements of style, qualities of style, kinds of composition. Of the eight chapters that make up the second half, the first two are devoted to a discussion of the principles that belong to any literary work, and the remaining six to the practical application of them, as seen in the leading forms of discourse. The author attempts to give only the practical elements of rhetoric, and in so doing his supreme effort is directed to the demands of his subject in order to bring out in its fullness what is really beneficial to the student. As old things, in proportion to their living value, need from time to time to be newly defined and distributed, so the author has made a new and admirable division of topics, each of which he introduces with a simple and yet strictly accurate definition. The arrangement of topics and the treatment of the same are, to say the least, fine, and plainly show that the purpose of the author has been very successfully accomplished, 10both in the expository and in the illustrative matter. Genung’s style is clear and impressive. He has not merely compiled from other authors, but, for the principles laid down, has gone to the true sources, the usage of the best contemporaneous writers, to verify old rules and to lay down new ones. He has by no means tied himself to rhetoric descended from the classics, his practical standard excluding on the one hand, points whose interest is merely speculative, and on the other, discriminations that are only named and defined, without directions looking to use or avoidance. Furthermore, the publishers have done well their part, using every artifice to place the treatise clearly before the student. It is to be regretted, however, that a word and phrase index was not added to the other indexes.

A German Grammar for schools and colleges based on the Public School German Grammar of A. S. Meissner, M. A., Ph. D., D. Lit. By Edward S. Joynes, M. A., Professor of Modern Languages in South Carolina College. Boston: D. C. Heath & Co., 1887. pp. ix, 322.

While the author has based his work upon that of Meissner, he has by no means slavishly followed that Grammar, but has greatly extended the syntax so as to suit the higher schools. In doing this, Prof. Joynes has consulted the standard grammars of Whitney and Brandt, and has received the aid of distinguished scholars. The subjects are excellently arranged, the rules briefly worded, but clearly and accurately expressed. There is nothing superfluous. It is to be regretted, however, that Prof. Joynes did not see fit to treat more fully the prepositions; for many dictionaries, especially such as the student can own, are incomplete in this very regard. A discussion, therefore, of the prepositions with a list of their constructions arranged for reference would be of incalculable value to the student. This Grammar is already having a run and will prove itself a formidable rival to those in the field. Last but not least, the part intrusted to the publishers has been admirably executed, leaving in typography nothing to be desired.

King Solomon’s Mines. By H. Rider Haggard. Cassell & Co., N. Y.

This is a book that all may read with pleasure, mainly because it is something out of the usual order. Being rather a compromise between Robinson Crusoe and the Arabian Nights, you are constantly catching glimpses of these books and yet at the same time, reading a new story. The author takes an Englishman to South America in search of a lost brother who, as the Englishman thinks, has found his way to King Solomon’s Mines. Guides and other necessaries being procured, the party set out across the desert for these inaccessible 11mines. After overcoming many and varied difficulties, they find the diamonds. The party is shut up by the old witch in charge of the cave; but, finally escaping with many of her jewels, they by chance find the lost brother and return to civilization. The author is not so unkind as to force his truths upon you, but rather takes it for granted that his statements will be received as given, for no other purpose than that of entertaining. There is a vein of humor running through it that makes the whole story very agreeable, and even when most astonished at his statements, you are compelled to laugh at the courteous way in which they are expressed. In originality of expression, this novel surpasses the majority, and adds a full book to Cassell’s “Rainbow Series.”

The Labor Movement in America. By Richard T. Ely, Ph. D., Associate in Political Economy, Johns Hopkins University. 1 Vol. Thomas Y. Crowell & Co. pp. 375.

Every one who is even partially acquainted with the present condition of the laboring masses and with the “marvellous war now being waged in the heart of modern civilization” can not fail to see readily the necessity for some one to undertake to solve the difficult problem with which this volume deals. In view of this fact, and being duly impressed with the weight and importance of this issue upon which the welfare of humanity depends, the author has devoted much time and labor, not only to the consideration of this problem, but also to condensing the results into a history, or rather, as he says, a “sketch” of the different labor organizations in America. The work deals chiefly with the main current of social life, not finding room in this volume to deal with the many separate lesser ones. He presents rather than refutes the important statements connected with this main current, although he does not abstain entirely from criticism.

The topics are systematically arranged, enabling the reader more clearly to understand and more easily to retain the accurate record of facts. His sketch on “Early American Communism” and that on “The Growth and Present Condition of Labor Organizations in America” are especially interesting and instructive. His treatment of the economic and educational values of the labor organizations is masterly and explicit, evincing a thorough understanding of the great principles upon which our social fabric is based. In the Appendix are given the Platforms, Constitutions and By-Laws of the various labor organizations, which are read with interest and profit, inasmuch as the principles and complaints of the laborer are clearly set forth therein. The last words penned in the preparation of the work are addressed to the 12working men. The caution and the counsel given in this address would prove of incalculable value to all whom they concern. Were these heeded, inestimable benefits would most certainly accrue to all the laboring classes. If they would pursue the course prescribed by the author, they would be much happier, wealthier and wiser. They would learn to appreciate instead of abuse the many blessings of this life. Then the riots, strikes, boycottes and outbursts of general discontent, for a long time so prevalent in the land, would soon become almost a matter of history. The author’s abhorrence of the many objectionable features connected with the labor movement can be plainly seen, although he does not feel it incumbent upon him to call attention to each one of them; but, when it is necessary, he does not hesitate to express his opinion touching many of the schemes for destruction, which he regards as “damnable.” This valuable work closes with the remedies for the cure of social evils. While they can not be properly called a panacea for all the ills, nor an elaborate scheme of social regeneration, yet, as suggestions, they are timely and well worthy the careful consideration of the reader. Every laborer, either contented or dissatisfied with his present lot, should read this book.

COLLEGES.

Princeton wants to be a University.

Yale is to have a $125,000 gymnasium.

Emery and Henry College, Va., wants to raise an endowment.

Central College, Mo., (Methodist) opened with 89.

North Carolina institutions have opened finely this year. Those with the best endowments reap a commensurate harvest.

Wofford College, Spartanburg, S. C., (Methodist) has 70 in college and 35 in the preparatory department. The experiment of keeping it altogether distinct from the college is being tried there. Hence the “Fitting School” has been removed to a distant part of the town.

Randolph-Macon College, Va., has 143 students. Of these, 126 have joined the Y. M. C. A., and ten more have signified their intention to become members. Prof. Robert F. Sharpe, of Rhode Island, has been appointed Adjunct in the Department of National Science. The new gymnasium, the handsomest building on the campus, is supplied with all the modern appliances, including hot and cold baths. It is under the charge of a competent instructor in physical training.

The Archive’s visit to any literary magazine or newspaper may be considered as an invitation to exchange. Thus far the Wake Forest Student and the College Message have been received. The Archive extends cordial greetings to all periodicals which may exchange with it, and trusts that harmony may prevail between it and them, and that mutual benefit may be derived.

The College Message, G. F. College, is welcomed to our exchange list. We are in receipt of the September number. It contains some very readable articles and some matter of a frivolous order. Its pages, however, demonstrate the fact, that women can occupy the editorial chair with ability.

The Archive acknowledges the receipt of a special copy of The Hot Blast, Anniston, Ala. The print is plain, the cuts clear, the general appearance handsome, and the paper, on a whole, does credit to the enterprise of the company. This number is devoted especially to the interests of Anniston, and is calculated to infuse her citizens with life, energy and pluck. The paper is not a source of local pride alone, nor is it devoted alone to local interests. It proclaims the hidden treasures of Alabama and the whole South. North Carolina may well be proud that a part of its pages are the fruits of North Carolina talent, and it is an occasion of gratification to Trinity that its city editorial chair is filled by one of her recent students.

The last number of the Wake Forest Student contains an article entitled “Religious Life at College” in which three reasons are propounded why a Christian life and a College course are uncongenial companions. These are, first, that a student’s life is wholly of an intellectual nature and that his religious duties are made subordinate to his intellectual work; secondly, that a student’s associations wield a mighty influence over his spiritual life; thirdly, that a student is required to attend devotional exercises. The first two reasons are granted, and are too obvious to need comment. The third is at least debatable. When a boy first enters College, he enters upon a new life, and, as a general thing, discretion, as to how he shall act and what he shall do, is just as far absent from him as it was in early childhood. It is just as necessary that the Faculty should require him to attend divine worship, as it was that his parents should train him in childhood to attend church and Sunday school. In most colleges, in which attendance upon divine worship is left voluntary, many boys, who have been 14accustomed to attend devotional exercises at home, drop these duties, and, from want of their ennobling influence, fall into wickedness and dissipation. In all such cases, the Faculty should act in loco parentis. There is evidence that a student can but feel the holy influence of divine worship, though he be forced into its presence.

The same number of the Student contains an article headed, “The Sciences in Our Colleges,” by Prof. W. H. Michael of that institution. The Professor displays considerable thought in his treatment of this subject. He commences his article by saying, “The emancipation of science from its servitude to the dead languages in our colleges seems every year to be more strongly demanded.” He then goes on to state his reasons for so thinking, and sustains his positions by sound arguments. An extended review of the article is not intended, but merely to call attention to the fact that the demand for a more thorough study of the sciences is rapidly gaining ground in all parts of our country. Some few years ago, Charles Francis Adams, Jr., occasioned considerable discussion among the literary periodicals of our country by an address which he delivered before the literary societies of Harvard, in which he bitterly opposed the study of the “dead languages” to the neglect of the sciences, and regretted that he had spent the most of his college life in the acquisition of a knowledge of the classics, while he had learned scarcely anything of the sciences. Although Mr. Adams was somewhat of an extremest in his views, yet his speech did great good by arousing the minds of our greatest educators to the importance of this subject, and causing them, at least to some extent, to bestow that thought upon it which it deserves. Sentiment of late years, in the higher educational circles, seems to be changing in favor of a more liberal study of the sciences in preference to that of languages. The people of the present day demand an education which will both train their minds, and be of practical use to them in everyday life. They do not desire to live mentally, as it were, in the past, but want to be abreast with the great questions of the present day.

The Davidson Monthly deserves praise for the attention it shows to the Alumni column. Its essays, however, are long and lifeless, and its pride in the possession of a “cow-boy” is most too patent.

The Archive tenders welcome to The Morning Star, Carlisle, Pa., and The Binghamite, both of which have been received just on the eve of going to press. They are cordially entered upon The Archive exchange list.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
