...Drury seems partial to the college press; his latest brand, a choice cigar of unadulterated "Vuelta Abajo" stock, he has named the "The Harvard Lampoon." They draw well, have an excellent flavor, and will, it is to be hoped, soon rival their namesake in popularity...
...that goes under the name of college humor has a still racier and sharper individuality if not so extended a vogue.

The Lampoon is regarded as perhaps the brightest light in college journalism, possibly because it has no rival in its particular field, but probably because of the peculiar merit of its productions. We hope that before another year has passed we shall have the pleasure of exchanging with the "Yale - " and "Princeton - ," two illustrated journals published at Yale and Princeton respectively...
