...first number; for the issue not only keeps up, but even raises the paper's reputation. The most noticeable feature is the change on the first page; instead of the old plainly lettered Harvard Lampoon we have a very attracting heading, which shows Lampy sitting on the cross bar of the H, playing a banjo. Another improvement which lightens the appearance of the page, has been made by printing all the reading matter and most of the pictures without ruled lines, either on the borders or to divide the columns. Then, too, paper of a lighter tint is used...

If the college could furnish to the passer bathing suits, or even a raft, the trouble would be obviated, but as it is we can only cry to the Lares of our grandmother as we cross the seething flood. It is rumored that a life line is to be stretched along the dangerous passage. Until, however, some of our suggestions can be adapted, let us have at least a plank walk...
