Fifth Anniversary Number of the Crimson.

At the CRIMSON dinner last Tuesday evening a fifth anniversary number of the paper was distributed to those present. The paper in appearance was similar to the bound numbers of the CRIMSON which were issued during the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebration. The number was composed of numerous "grinds" upon the present and past members of the board, songs and toasts. A number of interesting reminiscences of old Harvard journalism were discovered by the editors and printed for the second time. The following complimentary notices of the Harvard Herald - the predecessor of the CRIMSON - may be of interest:

The Harvard Herald has again distinguished itself. The Harvard Athletic Association had its first winter meeting yesterday afternoon, and in eight minutes from the close of the "tug-of-war," The Herald was on the street with a full account of the entire proceedings. Sixty minutes later The Echo, true to its name, echoed the report of its sharper and smarter contemporary. - Boston Herald.

The Harvard Herald will appear next Tuesday as a college daily. Its projectors, headed by Sophomores W. E. Haskell and E. M. Gill, are all brilliant young collegians, and as Harvard needs a good daily paper, its success can hardly be questioned. It will contain local and telegraphic news, editorials and special contributions, and will be printed by The Cambridge Tribune press, on tinted paper. Its size, 14x10 inches, gives twelve columns of advertising and reading space. The Herald will sell for two cents a copy, or $2.00 per year. The heading will be of unique design, and is the work of Mr. Zerrahn, with Mr. Carl Fehmer. Long life to The Harvard Herald. - Times.

The typographical appearance of the issue - which consisted of eight pages - was very neat. Great credit is due to President Talbot for his efficient labors in getting out so unique a number.
