...beard leaves the CRIMSON with but a small number of editors, and men must be taken on during the spring. We ask all those who care to do so to try for the paper, men from the sophomore class being especially desired. Ability to obtain news of college interest and put it into plain, readable English are the only qualifications necessary. The CRIMSON is a newspaper, and energy in getting news is the first requisite. If those who wish to try for the paper will consult with the managing editor, he will give them all the necessary instructions in regard...
