The Princetonian contains the following statistics: "It is interesting to note the relative standing of the Princetonian with its two leading contemporaries, the Harvard Crimson and the Yale News. Leaving out all "Notices" and our Bulletin Elm from the three papers, the News, which has annually about 176 issues, gives to its readers in the neighborhood of 1144 feet of reading matter, the Crimson with 212 issues has 1166 feet of matter, and the Princetonian with 100 issues has 920 feet. The Harvard Crimson, the Yale News, and the Princetonian print in the order named more matter in the course of the year than any other college paper. It is to be noticed, however, that while the Yale News and the Harvard Crimson surpass us in the total number of feet for the year, we exceed both of them in the average number of feet per issue. The Crimson averages 5 1-2 feet; the News 6 1-2, and the Princetonian 9 1-2 feet."

In considering these figures, it should be remembered that most of the reading matter of the CRIMSON is only 'single leaded,' while the matter in both the Yale New and Princetonian is largely 'double leaded.' Still when papers are to be judged by the number of feet they publish, it will be time to investigate the accuracy and justice of the Princetonian's figures.
