THAT exasperating puzzle, the Tabular View, has lately become the means of a very profitable business venture. Leaving out of account the sums that Freshmen volunteer to pay for the gilded sheets, the amount received from advertisers must be considerable.

A college paper, however, furnishes a place in which communications, from all members of the college, can be printed, and men the most unlike can thus exert an influence on each other far more effective than any likely to result from disjointed remarks, such as are usually heard in the course of an evening...
