...certain number of columns; while the best features of the "Advocate," those which are not preserved in the "Monthly," would be kept. Such a paper, an ideal exponent of the lighter side of student life, if well conducted; could not fall to be a greater success than either the "Advocate" or the "Lampoon" now are, and a greater credit to the editors. The process of evolution here has been going on so steadily within the past few years, that the time does not seem far distant when we shall see at Harvard those papers, occupying distinct fields, the CRIMSON...

Furthermore, the college must have a larger income than at present from her investments, in order to lower the rates for tuition. It is well known that now at the end of every year Harvard either has almost no surplus, or is in debt. To lower the charges for tuition, from which the income is at least $150,000, would seriously affect our financial prosperity.
