...published for the first time. The book is divided into two parts, the first, called "First Strokes" includes pieces written before 1882. Some of the poems notably "Sweet Sleep" and "Accusation" show good ideas and a delicate appreciation, but, as might be expected, as a whole the style is crude and unfinished.

The sophomore crew has the largest number of old men, while...

The artists took less care with their work than those who came later, and the process of printing, etc., was more crude than it is to-day. Nevertheless the pictures as well as the reading matter stamped the paper as the Lampoon, and then when the red cover was adopted the paper had still another distinguishing mark. The pictures of Attwood, called "Ye Manners and Customs of ye Harvard Students," which appeared first...
