The student of shallow principles and superficial attainments often forgets not only that knowledge is the first object of education, but that honesty is a necessary constituent in the character of a gentleman.

We trust that those of the lower classes who are interested in the sort of work demanded by the duties of an editor will not hesitate to become candidates for the CRIMSON. The paper needs good men. We know that those who join our editorial staff will feel amply repaid in many ways for their efforts...
