...published, only a day or two ago a notice from the editors of the Lampoon, which should be heeded by all members of the college. The editors desire "a more generous support, both in a literary and in a financial way, from the college at large." That they deserve this support can be doubted by no one who has come to know the Lampoon in its successful career. The paper that is known in and out of Cambridge as the best college paper of its kind is certainly an honor to Harvard, and should have the support of all Harvard...
...from active management of the paper leave a great weight upon the shoulders of the present board. It will require strenuous efforts to keep up to the standard of excellence which '86 has set.

...still feel that the courtesy of the press ought to have influenced the expression. The kindly feeling which has long existed between the various college papers, cannot easily be destroyed by criticisms of such a nature, but more pleasant relations will result in the future if a more generous spirit is shown. It is true that differences of opinion must always exist as to the relative merits of our different papers, but if we are called upon to express those opinions, let us remember that the manner of our expression will often betray the spirit in which we write...
