...subsequent comment on the impending struggle between the new and the old representatives of the wit that emanates from colleges says: "A third competitor has now entered the field in the form of the Princeton 'Tiger': and although no judgement can fairly be made from a single number, and that a first issue, it seems likely that the 'Tiger' may prove itself some time a rival by no means to be despised. Naturally we doubt if the 'Lampoon' is in any imminent danger of being surpassed by either the 'Spectator' or the 'Tiger', but a healthy and friendly emulation...

Startling disclosures were revealed in the seniors' voting statistics announced at the banquet. Having voted girls as their favorite study, the 1927 Princetonians selected Harvard after Smith and Vassar as the most popular women's college. Harvard again came in for its share of good natured sarcasm when many seniors answered the question: "What has 1927 done for Princeton?" by saying, "dropped Harvard...
