EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: In one of the articles on "College Journals," which have recently appeared in your paper, is the statement that the Echo led a prosperous existence "until the fall of '82, when it was succeeded by a larger sheet, called the Harvard Herald, a name that was changed at the beginning of the following year to the Daily Herald. There are several inaccuracies in these remarks. In the first place, the Herald was started early in the year 1882, and its success drove the Echo out of an existence which had become burdensome both to itself and to its readers. The Herald was originally owned and managed by a few individuals, but on May 12, 1882, the editorial board or the Harvard Daily Herald was organized, and from that day to this the daily paper at Harvard has been a student publication. The name of the paper was not changed till the union with the Crimson, which was then a weekly, and not a semimonthly publication, as stated by the writer of the article), when the paper became known as the Herald-Crimson. This name did not continue "until the fall of '84, when the name was modified to the CRIMSON." The first edition of the DAILY CRIMSON was May 8, 1884. From that day the name has remained unchanged. These inaccuracies are the more inexcusable, as they distort facts which are of so recent a date as to be within the memory of many students still connected with the University.
