A circular has been sent around in the last few days soliciting subscrip tions for the Lampoon. It is in sore need of more money and more editors. Last year the Lampoon board struggled bravely along in the face of many obstacles, and did a great deal of hard work, in order to continue the publication of the paper. This year the board have made great changes in the Lampoon, they have lowered the price so that it is, as claimed for it, the "cheapest college paper in the country." To carry out their ideas and make the paper fully up to their standard, the board needs the hearty co-operation of all the college. The price has been put within the reach of all, and every man should subscribe to it, not only for their own benefits, but also to help the paper out of its difficulties. We would urge all the men that have any talents in that direction to try for an editorship; men from '90 and '91 are especially needed.

We should be very sorry to see the Lampoon discontinue, and therefore we present this plea in behalf of our sister paper. And at the same time we wish to speak a word for ourselves. The CRIMSON is still in need of a great many more subscriptions. There seems to be a falling off in our college spirit, and especially so as regards the support of our college papers. Every man should feel it his duty to take both the CRIMSON and the Lampoon.
