...Williams Athenaeum advances an admirable idea in proposing and advocating the establishment of a stronger "inter-collegiate feeling" among the colleges of this country. "Let us," it says, "discuss in our departments matters of general interest to the college press, and college world; create an inter-collegiate feeling beyond the mere exchange of college publications. There is enough which concerns us all, to make at least one department of our publications reach farther than our own campus confines."

...present board of editors of the Lampoon have gathered together in a volume of sketches a collection of memorials of the wit and wisdom of the editors of the first series of Harvard's great illustrated paper.

From the facts already given it will be seen that it is perfectly feasible for a Harvard student to support himself while in college if he has the brains which would support him outside. These facts, also, ought to go far toward impressing the community with the idea-novel, to be sure, but still true-that a great portion of the students at Harvard are laborious and hard-working-not too proud to toil for their daily bread, and not too lazy to do honest work...
