...February 10, 1876, came the first number of the "Lampoon," which appeared fortnightly until June 25, 1880, when lack of money compelled its discontinuation. The illustrating for the paper was done by the heliotype process. Among the contributors who have since become successful artists were Robert Grant '73 and F. S. Sturgis '75. In March, 1881, the "Lampoon" was again started, this time with better success. The "Daily Echo" was published from December 9, 1879, to June 22, 1882. From the fact that the undertaking was attended with some risk, the names of the editors of the first and second...
...started by the students. One, a small weekly paper called "The Examiner", devoted to the criticism in a satirical vein of all manner of undergraduate evils, has already appeared. The other, which is still in preparation, is to be of a humorous character, like the Yale Record and the Lampoon. Another publication of interest to Pennsylvania men is the volume of "Pennsylvania Stories" lately issued, written by Arthur Hobson Quinn '94, who is now an instructor in the college. These stories treat of life at the University of Pennsylvania, after the manner of similar volumes of Harvard and Princeton stories...
...current number of the Lampoon flavors strongly of the usual mid year topics. The editorial on the "The Mid-Years" is thoroughly common-place. The best contributions are the so-called "Burgessettes," which will be appreciated by those who are familiar with the drawings of Gellett Burgess, for they are amusing and well executed imitations. In contrast to these is the over-worked "Freshman's Night-Mare...
...best feature of the Christmas Lampoon lies in its illustrations, which are exceptionally good. A picture of the Boston coach arriving in Cambridge on Christmas Day fifty years ago, and the centre page drawing by C. M. Bill '00 are the best of these. The chief fault with the short stories and jokes is that they are based upon affairs which have no direct connection with the College. The Death of Sir Cuttenthrust, A Legend of the Third Crusade, starts ambitiously, but is not sustained and falls flat at the end. It is well set off, however, by marginal drawings...
...number of the Lampoon which will appear this evening is not up to the standard of the last issue, but, nevertheless, it contains some very good pieces. It is perhaps too reminiscent of football. The "By the Way," which is better than usual, and the centre page, a well executed and fitting sequel to the centre page of the "Football Number," express very adequately the present dissatisfaction in regard to football. The bit entitled "Sporticus," in the series of "Lampy's Menagerie" is a very pleasing innovation. Although short, it is one of the best executed pieces in the number...
