NEXT!

THERE is a want that has no doubt long been felt in College. It has never been expressed, to be sure, but we venture to affirm that it has long been felt. We allude to the lack of a paper published with sufficient frequency to allow us to know all that our neighbors are doing, and whether the noise which the innocent Freshman makes, as he returns from his soda and peanuts, disturbs the sleepy Sophomore.

We are happy to announce that we are not to be left any longer in this deplorable state of ignorance of what goes on around us. We are to have a NEW PAPER!

In several ways this journal will be an advance over everything previously attempted at Harvard.

First, It will be published every hour during the day up to four o'clock, and subscribers may have their copies distributed to their seats in recitation-rooms.

Second, A late edition will be issued at nine in the evening, in order to publish, for the information of all whom it may concern, a list of the students who have gone to Boston to spend the evening. Their names will be easily procured from car-conductors, hackmen, pocos, and other trustworthy sources.

Third, Personal items, mentioning circumstances which cannot possibly be of interest to any one except the person "itemized," have hitherto been an unknown feature of our college papers. These will be introduced as a special department of the Harvard Reverberation, but not too plentifully at first, lest they should shock minds accustomed to consider such things not in good taste.

Fourth, As to the treatment of different classes. Peculiar attention will be given to the movements of the Sophomore class. They will always be spoken of in a dignified and respectful manner. Their witticisms will be chronicled in full-faced type. The Junior class will be mildly sat upon, and the Senior condescendingly patted on the head as "the diligent class of '80."

The Saturday Review will be imitated in articles and criticisms on manners and customs, which will be of a calibre to fit the minds of their probable readers. Some idea of their contents may be obtained from the titles of a few, - "Grumbling," "Telling Fibs," "Haughty Aristocrats."

After much deliberation, three adjectives have been chosen for use with the names of instructors. These three are "genial" (or "kindly"), "thorough," and "popular." The Editors believe that at least one of these will be applicable whenever a professor is spoken of.

The hourly sheet will be gotten up in the highest style of art. Short words will never be used when long ones will suffice. The proof-reading will be as good as circumstances will permit. Extras will be issued whenever it becomes necessary to record the breaking of a window in the Yard, or the blowing off of a Sophomore's hat by the wind.

A chromo of the Editor-in-chief will be given with every subscription. No members of exclusive college societies will be eligible for editors. The paper will consider itself "the mouth-piece of society," whatever that may mean; and it is not true that it is to be conducted as the official organ of the Janitors. They will only be allowed to contribute occasional items.

TREFOIL.
