Some time ago we were informed that the proper support was not given the Advocate to insure its success. Then came the news that the Lampoon was in a similarly crippled condition. Such a condition of affairs as this is entirely uncalled for, and should not be endured. That the two oldest publications of the university should fail through the apathy of the students to support them, is by no means a flattering complaint to Harvard enterprise. It cannot be allowed to continue. It must be seen that success in a college publication is entirely dependent upon the interest manifested...
...could be shown that '87 subscribed $900 less than the average amount required to run a freshman crew, then perhaps no fault could be found with the management. But if '87 paid as much to support its freshman crew as classes generally do, (and I for one, think that it paid even more), then it seems to me that there is no reason for the shameful running into debt, except the almost criminal blundering of the manager...
...shall be still more pleased to hear, in a short time, that the entire number has been obtained, and that the bi-weekly journal of Harvard is again upon a sound financial basis. Our students do not, it is true, step forward with any too much readiness to support the college papers, but when once the true nature of the case is put before them, we do not have to appeal in vain. Indifference holds them back, not a disregard for the success of our journalistic enterprises...
...morrow the first literary supplement will appear. It is with some doubts as to the support and approval which this new venture will receive that we prepare to launch it upon the public. Therefore we wish to call particular attention to the fact, that it may receive as much support as possible. It is our generous purpose to distribute the supplement to our regular subscribers. We hope that in addition to the copies so distributed, a considerable number will be wanted; first, by men wishing to send it to their friends, and second, by others, not subscribers, wishing to learn...
...esteemed contemporary, the Lampoon, is, like its sister sheet, the Advocate, seriously involved and compelled to make a public appeal for help. Only a little over a year, it was said that the Lampoon was on a very firm basis financially; but this year it has not obtained the support from the college which it deserves. Students cannot hope to see the smiling face of Lampy once in two weeks, unless they are willing to give the editors their financial support. With a thousand under-graduates, and only three college publications, all occupying different spheres of usefulness, there ought...
