Great credit is due the editors of the "Lampoon" for the energy with which they have faced the difficulties that have multiplied against them during the year just ended, and which, even last October, almost caused the paper to cease publication. It seemed for a long time as if there was little possibility that the full number of issues of the "Lampoon" would appear this year. All the friends of the paper, however, have been agreeably surprised to see the numbers follow one another in regular succession, so that now, with the Class Day issue, the volume will be complete.

Some fear has been expressed that the paper will not be continued next year. It is certainly to be hoped that this fear is unfounded, and that the "Lampoon" after flourishing for ten years, will continue to be, what it always has been, a characteristic journal of Harvard College.
