The article on our first page on the Dartmouth Aegis. calls attention to our own Index. The Harvard Index is published for use and convenience only. At Harvard, such a publication as the Aegis would not succeed, would not, we think, be at all popular. Certain it is that the "grinds," as they call them, would not be endured here. We almost wonder that they meet with favor anywhere. An explanation is found, perhaps, in the fact that in other colleges which are smaller, the students are better acquainted and generally more intimate. Only on the score of great familiarity and intimacy can we explain the liberty so often taken in getting off these "grinds." Another reason possibly why such a publication as the Aegis is successful in the smaller colleges, is that the smaller colleges have fewer papers, certainly nothing like the Harvard Lampoon, and therefore supply the need in another way. College wit has to break out somewhere, if not in a Lampoon, in an Aegis.
