...Lampoon having retired from active management of the paper leave a great weight upon the shoulders of the present board. It will require strenuous efforts to keep up to the standard of excellence which '86 has set. The present editors realize that in order to do this they will need a more generous support, both in a literary and in a financial way from the college at large. The freshman class has been very backward in contributing. At this time last year, several editors had been taken on from '88. It is hoped that '89 will begin with...

Yet it seems as if, in addition to the aid given by scholarships and loans, the tuition in some cases might be made free to those who are in great need of money.
