Four years ago then, the "Crimson," the "Herald," and the "Advocate" often covered the same ground in the editorial and item departments. The "Lampoon," "Advocate," and "Crimson" frequently had articles similar in character, the "Crimson" and "Advocate" being very much alike. It was plain that some process of differentiation was necessary. Accordingly in the fall of 1883, the "Herald" and the "Crimson" combined under the title "Herald-Crimson," afterward CRIMSON. This new paper differed little from the "Herald." Moreover, the "Advocate" has slowly changed, by giving less space to current events, leaving such things to the daily paper. It also...
...many men have since availed themselves of such an opportunity for good exercise. The statement when it appeared was one of pure mockery by reason of the storm which in a few hours had made a snow field out of a race course.

The money spent for books is quite a large item in the college expenses of a poor young man, but there are rich students, on the other hand, who throw away many of their old books, or have them in their rooms when they graduate. If an appeal were made, and a person appointed to take charge of the matter, hundreds of discarded books...
