The real aim of every college paper is to voice the best collegiate sentiment on subjects that intimately concern a student ; and that, by so doing, it tends to raise the tone of a college is a matter, we are glad to say, that is quite beyond dispute...

It will therefore be our endeavor to make THE HERALD-CRIMSON first-class in every particular, and a fit representative paper for Harvard. We shall do our utmost to maintain a high tone throughout its columns, and to keep it up to the times in every particular. Of course it will be quite impossible for us to attain the standard we have set before us unless we can receive the support of the students, but that we shall obtain this support we have...
