The first thing I thought when looking at this page is what is it's purpose??
You have written 'Essays and Papers by students' - but I don't know why you are posting them online? Are they just provided as samples, or do you want people to review them, etc?? I don't get any idea of the purpose of the site until I see the 'Read the rest of this essay' block which is halfway down the page. Could you rethink your tagline 'Essays and Papers by students' so that the site's purpose is clear.
Secondly, there is a lot of brown on the page. Could you perhaps use more of the green or burgundy to mix the colour scheme up a bit?
Thirdly, the NEW ESSAYS column on the left is a bit narrow, as you see very little of the essay's title. Could you make the column wider, or perhaps run the essay's heading across two lines so that you can see more of the title?
Lastly, I do like you have sectioned things off - it makes the design very clean.
I hope my feedback helps.

Hi Ross - in case you are interested I posted an updated version of this concept.

Thanks for the observations. Your comment about the purpose of the site is very relevant to a recent discussion we've been having at the office - very helpful.
