...this week's issue the Lampoon ceases to be altogether a college paper. Although it still retains the word "Harvard" on its titlepage, an effort will be made - as its editors announce - to "de-localize" it, and it is designed to have it fill, as far as possible, the place which has always been vacant in American journalism, - the place which is supplied in England by Punch...
