THE ILLUSTRATED MERGER.

The amalgamation of the Illustrated into the CRIMSON, as announced elsewhere in this issue, cannot but have a very far-reaching influence. The CRIMSON has felt that it has reached a stage where it is capable of putting out an illustrated supplement every other week throughout the College year. The union of the two papers makes possible the fulfilment of the CRIMSON'S hopes with the aid of the Illustrated's editors, whose experience will be a valuable asset in issuing the new pictorial. The benefits will be mutual, for, though the Illustrated will go out of business as such, its place will be filled by the CRIMSON Supplement in which the former paper's staff will have a major interest; and the scheme enables the CRIMSON to take a great step forward, full of possibilities for the future.

The CRIMSON welcomes the former editors of the Illustrated to its board and feels sure that the united board will be able to offer the College a paper worthy of being its most representative organ.
