Admittedly students indulge in literary activities only for their own pleasure, and if in the long month of January the demand which a strict code of literary merit makes upon the undergraduate editors is so great that it destroys their pleasure in their work, and their standing in the College at the same time, then they are right in refusing to hold to such a standard...
