The proposed scheme of a union dinner of the editors of the Advocate, Lampoon, Monthly and CRIMSON is an important and significant innovation. These four publications fill very different places and satisfy very different demands but, after all, their aim is the same. Forming. as they do, the strongest incentive to literary work, they are coming to see that their power in the future must depend largely upon their unity. The apparent rivalry between them has always been more fancied than real. That phase of college journalism by which one paper makes capital by carping at another is past. At Harvard, the papers have learned to rely upon themselves and confine their comments upon their contemporaries to friendly and usually straightforward criticisms. The proposed dinner is a rational outcome of the tendency towards co-operation, and of the decroase in the spirit of rivalry. We are sure it will call forth great enthusiasm and much good feeling and hope the plan will be successfully carried out.
