Again we feel it necessary to deny the semi-annual statement of the Yale News concerning the large number of editors with which our paper is carried on. This time the New Haven oracle puts it at twenty-five, where as the real number is twelve, not including the three business editors. From time to time the News manufactures such items for its readers, pointing proudly to its own board of eleven, the publication of which, by the way, serves to help fill up the editorial column every issue. We do not make any claims to rival our Yale contemporary, far from it, but if an addition of one editor makes the difference between the two papers, we can only say that we consider ourselves extremely fortunate in possessing that one editor. We do not suppose it makes any great difference to our readers how many editors we have as long as the paper satisfies them, but we object to the inference that we have twice as many editors as are necessary for the well being of a Yale paper.

An occasional mistake like that of the News would be passed in silence, but when that paper persists in crediting us with nearly double the number of editors we really have, we cannot refrain from the inquiry, "Can any good come out of Yale?"
