...CRIMSON bought its own press, and took over the "Harvard illustrated", issuing, from that time forth, a fortnightly pictorial section. On May 3, 1920, the new press was first used, and the paper enlarged from four to five columns. This form has been maintained even since...
...first President of the paper was Mr. Francis Child Faulkner '74. The other editors on the original board, all members of the class of 1874, were Messrs. Eugene Nelson Aston, Henry Alden Clark, Samuel Belcher Clarke, Thomas Corlies, George Erwin Haven, Edward Higginson, Charles Austin Mackintosh, Houry Childs Merwin, and Calvin Proctor Sampson.

We bought a new press--with our own earnings. We added a pictorial supplement, literary and dramatic columns, a photographic darkroom. Though today's CRIMSON editors would doubtless think us a pretty conservative lot (we even supported Harding for President!), we were, I think, to be credited with more innovations than any other board in these seventy-five years...
