...cannot let the last freak of the Lampoon go unnoticed. That publication has declared its intention of caricaturing members of the University whenever a fitting opportunity presents itself. Now that kind of thing was tried when the Lampoon was first started, and the consequences were disastrous. College opinion objected, and with justice, to this degraded form of wit; and we beg to warn the Lampoon that it is more than probable that college opinion will object again.

The Club will be strictly social but the main object will be to promote the interests of Harvard in the Connecticut Preparatory Schools. The membership will at first be small, as there are only nineteen men from Connecticut in the University, but many new men will enter with '92 who will be eligible to membership. The officers for the coming year will be H. B. Gibson, '88, president; A. E. Beckwith, 91, secretary and treasurer; F. B's. Williams, '88, G. H. Black...
