...Haskell and E. M. Gill, are all brilliant young collegians, and as Harvard needs a good daily paper, its success can hardly be questioned. It will contain local and telegraphic news, editorials and special contributions, and will be printed by The Cambridge Tribune press, on tinted paper. Its size, 14x10 inches, gives twelve columns of advertising and reading space. The Herald will sell for two cents a copy, or $2.00 per year.

But as some of the upper-classmen took the matter in hand the freshmen yielded the field and the seniors and juniors started the new journal, which was called the "Harvardiana." The first number, of octavo size with a blue cover engraved with a picture of University Hall, appeared in 1835. The editors in their opening address offer a very remarkable array of talent: "The frank and high-spirited son of the South, the cool and indefatigable Northerner, the poet with tremulous nerves and flashing eye, the reserved...
