The Yale News is in error, we think, when it ascribes to us a larger board than it possesses. It is the custom of this paper, at least, to publish in its list of retiring editors all those who have been connected with the paper during the half year previous, and this custom, of course, swells the number of editors to a considerable degree. In reality, our editorial board has consisted of nine literary editors who have done the entire work of writing the paper, while for the News there are ten men who perform the same work, according to their list.
"At Harvard," says the News, "we understand there is no attempt made to run the paper in a remunerative way, but whatever surplus remains at the end of each year is put into a supper." This is good. For the benefit of the News, we would say that this is the first year that this paper has ever come out anywhere near even with its expenses, and that instead of a surplus for a supper, we have hitherto been forced to pay an assessment for our debts. We generally get the supper, but we pay for it ourselves. The News should rememver that this paper is published six times a week, appearing early in the morning, for three dollars a year, while the News is published five temes a week, appearing in the afternoon, for four dollars a year. This will explain a good many points of difference between the papers.
