...evidence is not meager. A new Stadium Bridge, the Freshman Dormitories, the Germanic Museum, the Music Hall, not to speak of the Widener Library and the proposed Gymnasium, are evidences of such a development in the matter of plant; the recent change in admission requirements, and the proposed system of general examinations denote new standards in the direction of scholarship; the Press Club, the Legal Aid Bureau, and the Navy Project, may be taken as indicative of a development which is bringing into closer touch the University and the community...

Yet such is the indifference of many men that our papers are constantly getting into hot water because their subscription lists are so meager. We sincerely hope that the Lampoon will obtain not only the necessary 200, but many more subscriptions within the next fortnight...
