We do not, as a rule, like to find fault with our sister papers, but we cannot let the last freak of the Lampoon go unnoticed. That publication has declared its intention of caricaturing members of the University whenever a fitting opportunity presents itself. Now that kind of thing was tried when the Lampoon was first started, and the consequences were disastrous. College opinion objected, and with justice, to this degraded form of wit; and we beg to warn the Lampoon that it is more than probable that college opinion will object again. There is plenty of wit and versatility in a big university like this without resorting to the low methods of political publications. We trust the Lampoon will take this advice in the spirit in which it is given. There is nothing either witty or funny in holding up our fellow-men to public ridicule, and the paper that will stoop to such vulgarity will only be the loser in the end.
