...CRIMSON, has culminated in the proposal of several undergraduates to found a new periodical to be devoted entirely to this object, to be entitled the "Harvard Literary Monthly," and in the announcement made by the Advocate that hereafter that journal will devote a generous portion of its space to the purely literary work done by the students under the supervision of the instructors in English. So far as can be judged from present indications, both these schemes will be tested next year. Obviously both enterprises cannot be entirely successful. One or the other of the undertakings must necessarily defeat...
...Amount of matter. (A column of the "Advocate" contains the same number of words as a page of the proposed Monthly; in measuring the amount of space, we shall use the word "page" in speaking of both the "Advocate," and the proposed Monthly, meaning by "page," the amount of matter on the page of a Monthly.) The size of the proposed Monthly would be, probably, 28 pages, ten numbers a year.

...Advocate which came out yesterday, announces that next fall eight columns will be added to the size of the paper, and that this additional space will be given up to literary articles...
...publish this morning a criticism of the four class crews. Lack of space prevented us from taking notice of the second freshman eight. In a few days, however, we hope to have ready a criticism of them as well as of the university crew.

Moreover, as this...

The topic treated sets forth a system of note-taking which may be learned in a short space of time by any student, and which materially diminishes the amount of drudgery attendant upon lecture courses. "Punctuation and Capitalization," is the title given a text-book devoted to the especial consideration of these important branches of rhetoric. The subject is treated in an eminently practical manner. Both the above works are from the publishing house of J. B. Huling, Chicago...
