Among the advertisements there are two of particular interest to Harvard men: The Advocate promises to reform next year and the Lampoon apologies for its productions by saying that "There is always the chance that an embryo genius is lurking in Lampy's pages...
...Clark goes on to say that "the more articulate student of today is a 'wise bird'--nothing fools him, especially the cherished institutions in or out of college." He doubts the sincerity and significance of student discontent upon evidence gathered from five sources: the Boston University Beanpot, the Harvard Lampoon, the Harvard Advocate, the Nassau Literary Magazine, and the Syracuse University Speckled Bird--all of which fell under the ban of censorship.

Arthur will also have the Lampoon showroom permanently at his disposal, as the Lampoon has decided to convert Benny Hyte's tailor shop into a larger and better showroom...
