We are tired of pointing out the fact that the college papers deserve as much support as any of the teams Harvard maintains at such cost, and the subscriber can get all four papers for ten dollars, whereas the average subscription to a team is considerably more than two dollars and a half.

We are tired of urging under-classmen to take some interest in the college, and to do something but loaf their leisure away; and most tired of pointing out that the interest of the college at large is the interest of every particular student.

The complaints about Harvard indifference are stale, flat, and alas! unprofitable. We all condemn selfishness in our neighbors and condone it in our ourselves. That is human nature, and Sam Slick says there is much human nature in all men; but we specialize in selfishness, and, like the hub of the wheel, move slowest; and if we progress at all it is by sheer force of inertia.

We criticize our teams, and it is a task for Sisyphus to provide candidates for them; we condemn the lack of daily papers in the library, and let the reading room perish for want of fifty subscriptions.

Voice after voice in damnable antiphone suggests the remissness of the faculty in this thing or that or the other. And ourselves? Oh, we undergraduates have enough to do in finding fault.

The CRIMSON commented the other day on a remark which was unfortunately not unique-that Harvard ought to have some paper that would bear comparison with the Yale Lit, whereas we have two that yield to it in no respect-the Monthly and the Advocate.

The Yale men support their papers as they support their teams-energetically; and do all things they attempt thoroughly. We devote all our powers to neglecting everything that does not increase our personal pleasure.

Once more we appeal to eighty-nine and ninety. If they will not subscribe, let them write; if they lack brains to write, let them subscribe. The senior class does not enjoy a perpetual tenure of office, and it is time for the under classmen to do something. They are not boys, and should recognize their duties as men. At present it would seem they had found the fountain of perpetual youth, and that it had stunted their growth at the bib period of life.
