It is to be regretted that the HERALD-CRIMSON has not received the literary support from the sophomore and freshman classes which is its due. Some years ago it became possible to establish a daily paper in the college, and since then, such has been its success and usefulness, that the college takes a great interest in anything that concerns its welfare. During the last two months the paper has been seriously weakened by the severe sickness of several members of the board of editors, which has compelled them to leave college either temporarily or permanently. To fill the gap thus caused in its working force the paper hopes to see more cooperation on the part of interested outsiders, especially from the under-classmen. The work hither to done by eighty-six has been confined almost entirely to the men at present on the board, giving no chance for the selection of additional editors to fill up the quota from that class. As for eighty-seven, so little work has been produced by them that great delay will be caused in finding freshman editors unless they show decided improvement in the near future.

There is still time left for improvement. Freshmen, having no semiannual examinations, will be free from over-work during the next six weeks and should devote some of their time to supporting the college papers, the HERALD-CRIMSON first of all, for that appears regularly during the semis, in spite of the extra work needed in another direction. It is proposed to elect two editors from the freshman class for the ensuing half-year and additions to the number of sophomore editors are hoped for.
