...Amount of matter. (A column of the "Advocate" contains the same number of words as a page of the proposed Monthly; in measuring the amount of space, we shall use the word "page" in speaking of both the "Advocate," and the proposed Monthly, meaning by "page," the amount of matter on the page of a Monthly.) The size of the proposed Monthly would be, probably, 28 pages, ten numbers a year. If the "Advocate" can get 100 new subscribers next year, (in addition to those it already has), it will add sufficiently to the size of the paper...
...Advocate will give the same kind of, and equally good, matter. The support which a Monthly, if established, would have from the English Dept., would be given, we have reason to believe, to the "Advocate," if, instead of starting a new Monthly, the "Advocate should do the same work.

We shall try, probably, to have in each of our twenty numbers, an article from some one of the college instructors...

The largest number it would expect the first year would be, say, 200. (This is a liberal estimate, considering that the Lampoon has very few, if any, more, after a strong appeal to the college). If a new Monthly could get 300 subscribers, the "Advocate," doing the same work and as much of it, could add, say 100 to its present list of 425. That is, the Monthly would have not more than...
...communication in this morning's issue, the editors of the Advocate give reasons why, in their opinion, the task of publishing the literary work of the college should devolve upon them, rather than upon the proposed Literary Monthly. Until the evidence is all in, and the matter has been fully discussed, we must reserve our judgment on the relative merits of the two schemes...
