There is no institution at Harvard in which we take more pride than in the "Harvard Lampoon." When it was started, it might have been called a graduate paper; but of late years its editors and contributors have been drawn from undergraduates exclusively. On these the burden of editing such a paper has fallen so heavily, that there has repeatedly been danger of its discontinuance. The editors have asked, not only for financial support, but also for contributions from any member of the University. This year, we understand, the greater part of the prose writing falls upon a single man. As he graduates next spring, there is an absolute necessity that there should be new men ready to continue the work. Unless some offer themselves in the course of the year, the "Lampoon," we fear, will, to the lasting shame of all students, have to be given up. Now, every one has an occasional happy idea. Indeed, in every table group, we find one acknowledged funny man or punster. If these persons would only try a few times until they get the style of writing demanded, they would be able to produce occasional articles which would be accepted by the "Lampoon." Surely in a university of 1500 men, there is more than one man who is able and willing to contribute to keep up the high standard of Harvard wit and humour hither-to displayed by the "Lampoon."
