We hope that its membership will keep on increasing as the advantage to be derived from membership naturally becomes...
...kind, weakness in illustration, but its general appearance is prepossessing. The heavy bound covers are a novel but sensible departure, while the outside design is very unique and artistic. In our opinion it makes a great mistake in publishing the usual string of personal squibs on the various members of the junior class, which must always be somewhat vulgar. A special feature of this numbers is a comedy on the subject of co-education...
