This ruling will prevent the further publication of the CRIMSON under its present Board. If possible, however, plans will be made to continue publication under the conditions imposed by Colonel Williams's order. The Illustrated will discontinue publication, while the Lampoon and Advocate plan to continue under graduate editors...
...competitions for the editorial, drawing, and business departments of the Lampoon will officially start when all candidates report at 7 o'clock this evening at the Lampoon Building, corner Bow and Mt. Auburn streets. The business competition will be open to Sophomores and Freshmen; the drawing and editorial competitions to Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen.

All of the CRIMSON runs were earned; the Lampoon quota was merely lent to them for the afternoon by its generous opponents.
