ACTIVITIES AND PUBLICATIONS 261 The reason is to be found not so much in the magazine itself as in outside influences. I believe that there was as line an array of talent -in prose, poetry, and art-on the Rccorzf board this year as there has ever been, artists and writers who will some day be famous be- cause of their drawing and their writing. It is a combination of factors that has put the Record in its pres- ent plight. One of these is, of course, the Depression. For the stu- dent going through Yale on a limited budget-for Q0 per cent of the Record board. students, in other words-the Record is a luxury with which he can dispense, just as he can dispense with a movie or cigarettes. Another factor, and a more important one, I believe, is The New Yorfger. Why should a student pay a quarter for the Record when he can get polished, professional writers for fifteen cents? Both of these factors would be nullified if Record writers were serious about their humor. Sad to relate, they are not. The fault may or may not be their own. There was a time when a Rccom' editor could be fined for not taking his job seriously, the threat was con- sistently effective. Now, however, with no guaranteed financial re- muneration, there is no incentive to good work. Satisfaction in work well done is the only reward, and this apparently is insufficient.

262 CLASS OF NINETEEN TI-IIRTY-FIVE S. AND E. But with all his hardships the Owl has something to look back upon. The hard work of Rosecrans Baldwin, Iohn Gifford, and Iohn Shallcross brought in enough advertising to enable the Record to pay the University part of its debt. Then, on the editorial side, there was the steady cooperation of Stephen Hopkins, the managing edi- torg the clever art contributions of Peter Wells and Graham Peck, the sharp wit of Bowen Tufts, Ralph Brown, and Robert Duncan, who is to my mind the cleverest satirist the Owl has had under his wing in many years. My advice Qthough no one has asked me for itj to the incoming board is: frj start reorganizing the Record from the cellar up, by getting the really witty men in the college interested, C25 stick to Yale for source of humor-there is an inexhaustible supply of it and it is a Held which professional magazines cannot exploit. THE YALE SCIENTIFIC MAGAZINE The Yale Scientifc Magazine, along with our country's other business institutions, passed a low-water mark in its advertising and then watched 1935 and the business board turn the tide, so that no invasion of the magazine's i'Rainy Day Fund' was necessary. With the chairman, I. M. Fulton, at the helm and with I. H. Sflifflfl-fit' Magazine board.
