...Lick Observatory has been formally transferred by the representatives of the Lick trust to the trustees of the University of California. Not more than $90,000 remain of the fund of $700,000 for astronomical purposes which had been increased to about $1,000,000 by the accumulation of interest.

There is plenty of wit and versatility in a big university like this without resorting to the low methods of political publications. We trust the Lampoon will take this advice in the spirit in which it is given. There is nothing either witty or funny in holding up our fellow-men to public ridicule, and the paper that will stoop to such vulgarity will only be the loser...
