Four of the rarest and most recent additions to the College Library's collection of Contadina have been placed on exhibition in the display cases of the Treasure Room, where they will remain for several weeks. Two small notebooks in which Conrad kept a diary of his trip up the Congo River into the center of Africa in 1890, his first manuscript of the early chapters of "Lord Jim", and a silver match box, which he carried a great part of his life, complete the display. A small pamphlet containing notes on the diaries by Richard Curle, close friend...

...even earlier than in humans. It is not that we lack the most profound respect for the Lampoon tradition, but it would seem that the lean years have arrived in the purlieus of Mount Auburn and Plympton Streets, for seldom have we previously been favored with such a monumental display of gratuitous imbecility, such wholesale vulgarity of the common or garden variety, or such lamentable paucity of wit and artistry as is represented by this issue. The lbis has that bilious and mangy appearance that we hear was characteristic of the late lamented William Jennings Bryan at the Dayton trial...
