...Certain gentlemen offered to endow at Yale a chair of lectures on Protection. The Philosophical faculty, before whom the matter properly came, referred the matter in proper order to the Presidential Committee of the corporation, which body accepted the endowment and authorized the Philosophical Faculty to establish the course of lectures, which they have done, much to the satisfaction of the whole university, which is never more anxious to hear both sides than are the faculty to give the opportunity...
...beginning of the second half-year is justly considered a fitting time for rejoicing. There is one community in college, however, which certainly deserves our pity at this period of general mirth and festivity. We refer to the upperclassmen who are so unfortunate as to room in the north entry of Thayer. From time to time we have heard vague rumors concerning the action of certain freshmen in that entry.

It often has stories of the same general character as those which appear in the "Monthly; while on the other hand its sketches and verse are frequently suitable for the "Lampoon." Therefore, for the best success of Harvard journalism, it seems to the present writer that in time a fusion of the "Lampoon" and the "Advocate" will be necessary. The result will be a paper devoted to the lighter side of student...
