As anything to be dishonest must arise from some dishonest motive, it is hardly fair to charge every student with dishonesty who finds himself guilty of cribbing.

College honor would surely condemn a man who cribs so as to obtain a scholarship, or to gain a position on the Phi Beta Kappa.

Success to the Literary Magazine, but only on condition that it succeeds honorably, and not through...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.- The Advocate has unknowingly made a statestatement unfair to the proposed Literary Monthly. In perfect good faith, the Advocate stated that the English Department would consider both papers on an equal footing. We have since learned that the Monthly has a promise from three instructors which gives it an advantage, as in the selection of themes.
