The Yale News publishes a summary of the college appointments just received by the editors of the college papers. A comparison with the figures at Harvard may be interesting. The appointments received by the senior editors of each Yale paper and of the corresponding Harvard papers are given below:
The Literary Magazine. - Number of editors, 5; oration, 1; first disputes, 3; first colloquy, 1.
The Harvard Monthly. - Number of editors, 3; oration, 1; dissertation, 1; no appointment, 1.
The Record. - From '92; Number of men, 8; philosophical orations, 1; no appointments, 7.
The Harvard Lampoon. - Number of editors, 3; no appointments, 3.
The Courant. - From '92: Number of men, 5; high oration, 1; dissertations, 2; second disputes, 1; second colloquy, 1.
The Harvard Advocate. - Number of editors, S; dissertations, 4; disquisitions, 1; no appointment, 3.
The News. - Number of men, 6; high orations, 2; first disputes, 2; second colloquies, I; no appointment, 1.
The Harvard Crimson. - Number of men 5; dissertations, 3; disquisition, 1; no appointment, 1.
To summarize. At Yale there are twenty-four men from '92 serving as editors of the college papers; of these one has a philosophical oration; three high orations; one an oration; two dissertations; five first disputes; one a second dispute; one a first colloquy; two second colloquies; eight have no appointments. In all sixty-six per cent. of the editors have appointments.
At Harvard there are nineteen seniors on the college papers; of these one has an oration; eight have dissertations; two have disquisitions; and eight have no appointments. Altogether forty-eight percent. of the Harvard editors have appointments.
No very exact conclusions can be drawn from these statistics, because appointments are easier to obtain at Yale than at Harvard, a larger number being given each year at New Haven than at Cambridge.
