...Princetonian contains the following statistics: "It is interesting to note the relative standing of the Princetonian with its two leading contemporaries, the Harvard Crimson and the Yale News. Leaving out all "Notices" and our Bulletin Elm from the three papers, the News, which has annually about 176 issues, gives to its readers in the neighborhood of 1144 feet of reading matter, the Crimson with 212 issues has 1166 feet of matter, and the Princetonian with 100 issues has 920 feet.

When, however, we were asked if we had visited Wellesley, our invariable answer was "No;" but we always added that we had friends there, and had been invited out, but had never cared to go. We then, thought this was a wise answer...
