32 T I-IE YALE FREs1-1 MAN BLUE BooK The Yale Literary Magazine The Yale Literary Magaaiizc, established February, 1836, besides being the oldest college periodical, is the oldest extant literary monthly in America, entering upon its seventy-eighth year with the number for October, 1913. lt is published by a board of Eve editors, annually chosen by each successive junior class, from the members of that class, elected on the basis of the work they have hail accepted by the magazine. The competition for positions on the editorial board begins with the October number of Freshman year, and con- tinues through February of Junior year. It consists merely in writ- ing articles for the magazine, and the scope oi these articles includes fiction, essays and verse. Contributions are due on the First of the month, and may be sent through the postoffice or left at the office in the basement of the hrst entry of Wliite 1-lall. They must be type- vvritten and accompanied by the writer's name. If rejected they will be kept on nle in the office until called for by the writers, whose names are not known outside the Editorial Board. The editors may always be found in .the soffice on Nlonday evening, at seven, to criticise rejected manuscripts or to give advice to heelers. Candidates are at liberty to enter the competition at any time, but an early start is advisable. Previous experience is an advantage, but is not essential. The Business Manager of the magazine is elected on the basis of a competition beginning in the fall of Sophomore year. The Lit. is issued on the 15th day of each month from October to June, nine numbers forming the volume. Chairman, A. Maclzeish, '15, Business Manager, A. H. O'Gava, '15 The Yale Record The Record is, of course, Yale's most prominent publication. The other undergraduate 'publications merely serve as a foil to add lustre to our own bright sheet. Contributions from the University at large are welcomed, each Monday, after publication as announced in the News. On these oce casions, the Editors will be delighted to give criticism on pictorial and written matter. i' The Boardconsists of ten members, two of whom have charge of the sordid, commercial end-the other eight reaping the proceeds of their labors. Every Freshman is eligible for election to the Board, regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, be it Shelf. or Academic. Men are elected as soon as they have shown marked ability in art or humorous Writing. The absurdly small sum of 32.50 will give a year's subscription Qpostage prepaidj. C. A. Merz, Chairman Board of Editors, G. S. Patterson, 1915 S., Art Editor, J. L. Butler, 1915, Business Manager, T. P. l-lazard, 1915, Circulating Manager.

Tim Yami TFRIZSIIXIAN BLUE Book 53 The Yale Alumni Weekly ln 1891 undergraduate editors of the Yale News began publish- ing as a kind of graduates' edition of the College daily what is now known to all Yale men as the Yale Alllllllll lflfcclely. After passing through successive stages of ownership, this alumni publica- tion of Yale in l9l0 passed into the hands of the Yale 'lF'ublishing Association, a holding trust association of representative alumni. By this last move, the Alzznzvzi llfcelely became in every sense of the word the property of the alumni of Yale. To-day the publica- tion stands as a pioneer and as the acknowledged leader among university alumni publications. The Yale fllllllllll lflfeelely makes its appearance throughout the academic year, beginning a new volume immediately before the opening of the University in September, and continuing thereafter for forty consecutive weeks, which include the short vacations. In the culminating number of the volume which appears early in July, a full report of Commencement, the class reunions, the iinal baseball games and Harvard race, and other news of the year-end is published in a large edition of the paper. During the year every phase of undergraduate and graduate Yale activity is treated in the news and editorial columns of the Allll'll7Il Vlfeekly. Depart- ments cover Campus and athletic events, and full reports are given in other departments, conducted for that purpose, or organized class and general alumni activities. ln other words, the Yale alumnus looks to his Alzmmi Weekly as the undergraduate looks to his Daily News to keep himself authentically informed and interested in Yale University. Undergraduate subscription to, and following of, the Alzmwzi WG6l3ljl is increasing rapidly. The Weekly review ot Campus activities illustrated with numerous snapshots and the leading articles in addition to the regular departments of the paper, are making' a constantly growing appeal to the live undergraduatei The Yale Alzfivmi Weekly is edited and managed by Yale graduates. Edwin Uviatt, '96, is its editor, and Minott A. Osborn, '07, is assistant editor. George E. Thompson, '95 S., is business manager, and Vtlilliam F. Flagg, '12, is the assistant business mana- ger. The annual subscription for the 'forty issues, including the linal large magazine Commencement issue of the year, is 33.00, this amount payable in advance.
