"The Crimpoon", the 17 Year Old Periodical of the Class of 1900 Bobs Up Again--Published Only at "Decent" Intervals.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Unknown to most perusers of Harvard periodicals there has flourished for 17, years an embryo "Alumni Bulletin," a sheet bearing the hardly reconcilable hybrid name of "The Crimpoon."

Published by the Class of 1900 "at decent intervals," according to an announcement on the mast-head, it has apparently considered the present moment a "decent" one on which to appear, for it has blossomed forth in bright green ink with a most convivial scene on the front page.

Thi scene, called "Night Life before Yale Game," depicts a group of faithful members of the Class of 1900 dancing about the festive board, and is drawn by the Boston artist, Carroll Bill '00. It is a pleasant introduction to the editorials and the list of achievements of famous and less famous 1900 men, contained inside. Among these notablees are William Phillips '00, Minister to Canada, Dwight F. Davis '00; Secretary of War, Mark Sullivan '00, political writer, and Walter Hampden '00, the actor, who has just been elected president of the Players' Club of New York.

The title of one article consists in the query, "Are You a Grandfather?"; it goes on to state that "the Class should take some notice of the honorable estate of grandfatherhood, into which, if they be counted, a surprising number of our classmates will be found to have entered."

The front-page head has a very fair apportionment of CRIMSON and lampoon type, four letter being of one characteristic style and four of the other. The C consists of a jester couchant with legs bent up over his head, the I of a huddled dragon with a pointed snout, and the two O's of two smiling faces reminiscent of Messrs. Moran and Mack. On the other hand, the R. M. P. and N are in most appropriate lower-case block letters.
