FOR years the only record of college life, outside of the Student, has been the old HowLEK of the tree bulletin-board. About once a month throughout the collegiate year, the students gather around the tree and read The Howler. And though everything is represented in a jocular way, yet a fairly good record of the happenings in and about College is pictured here! It is true that sometimes the jokes became a little shady, but, as a rule, the paper was clean, and if any one was offended, it was because the truth, represented in verse or picture, went home to him. We admit that some things about the old Howler were not commendable; but college life had to be pictured in some way, and here it found an outlet. To supply the need which the old Howler was supposed to fill, we have gotten out the new Howler. To the jocular say- ings and verses we have tried to add more dignity and strength, and have made it more worthy of support. Yet the new Howler is really an oiTspring of its older namesake, the old Howler. Bound and printed, it has its origin in the paper which used to be placed on the tree, published on the dark of the moon by the Sophomore Class, and devoted to the interests of the Fresh, Faculty, and Fools. 74318
