Today the DAILY CRIMSON disappears from Harvard journalism, so far as name is concerned, and the HARVARD CRIMSON takes its place. Since the paper because a daily it has undergone many vicissitudes in its name. In the fall of 1883 there were two daily papers in the college, the Harvard Daily Herald, and the Crimson, which had been revived by a faction dissatisfied with the older daily. It was soon evident that there was not a field for two daily papers here, and early in that year they were united under the name of the Herald-Crimson. This awkward name stood for over a year and a half, when a new board of editors relegated all that was mortal of the old Herald to the past and the paper appeared as the Daily Crimson. Under this title the paper has grown prosperous; it has been put upon a strong financial footing, it has several times in creased the amount of space devoted to news, and it has grown steadily in the confidence and respect of the college.

It is with considerable reluctance, therefore, that the present board of editors have made another change. There are, however, many good reasons for the change. The one which had greatest influence with the editors themselves is the fact that there is nothing in the old name immediately to connect the paper in the mind of the non-college world with Harvard. Crimson outside of the immediate vicinity of the college is probably as often thought of as the color of some other college as it is as that of Harvard. It is desirable that the paper should be plainly marked as an Harvard organ; hence the change of name which is made this morning. We certainly hope that under its new name the paper shall continue to enjoy the same prosperity which always followed it as the DAILY CRIMSON.
