...upon an institution of higher learning was to compare it favorably with the New England college and to predict a maintenance, in its students and graduates, of the New England hierarchy. Harvard, however, although sprung directly from New England soil and built up in her youth by New England zeal and vision, may be said to have widened her horizons until now, in the two hundred and ninety-first year of her existence she is recognized to be so representative of the United States in her enrollment as to be able to claim a national if not international status rather...

During the past few weeks there has been evidence that this view of the Lampoon is the correct one. The current issue shows that the Lampoon has got religion, a clean collar, a shave, shine and shampoo, and is reverting with god2ly zeal to its old state of grace. It is a good, clean book for the whole family, and you can show it to Bill Roper too, if he comes around after supper for a Ford ride. The little group of graduate Lampooners in New York, who recently apologized to the world for the Lampoon's latest lapse from...
