Dartmouth Editorializing

The Intercollegiate Pictorial, first in its field, and originating at Dartmouth, published as the official organ of the Intercollegiate Pictorial Association, will make its first appearance November 1, edited by a Dartmouth Board. Its purpose will be to foster photographic organizations and publications in the member colleges of the Association, and through its medium to bring these colleges into closer contact with one another. It will include pictorial material with descriptive text portraying campus life at seventy leading colleges and universities.

"Eskers, cephalapods, Rutherford's atoms, flowering grasses, Helmholtz theories, nebulous masses, ourang outangs, sympathetic waves, Jurassic temperature variation, Mendel's sweet peas, birth control, intelligence ratios, Erewhon, waste, the actual worth of Listerine, the Kallikaks, immigration, Bhuddists, strikers, scabs, war, Congressmen, typewritten transcriptions of reference room paragraphs called theses—mix them up and what have you got, a freshman." (Ed. The length of time you have been out of college will correspond with the number of these terms you fail to remember.)

"It seems unfortunate that as yet there is no way for a professor at Dartmouth to publish his books through the college in a uniform edition such as exists at numerous institutions in America and Europe." Thus does The Dartviouth bewail the lack of a printing press for Dartmouth and we endorse any such movement which furthermore might lower the cost of books. Text books published by Oxford, Cambridge or Yale are hailed with delight—reason, eighty cents.
