Old Friends.

Among the exchanges which have already come, the Yale News attracts attention by its increased size and improved appearance. Yale undergraduate life is waking up to the importance of having a larger amount of new each day, and the editors seem intent on satisfying them. The paper has been increased from a three to a four-column sheet, and is now slightly larger in size than the CRIMSON, but contains about the same amount of reading matter as our paper. The quality of the matter has also improved, and we congratulate the Yale men on the new state of affairs.

Another paper which has arrived early is the standard Dartmouth, and this comes out with a new cover which is very elaborate and tasteful in design, representing an editional sanctum and the college pine, side by side. This makes another paper which has followed the present custom of having decorated covers, and one which is certainly more pleasing to the eye. The other, exchanges so far are the same in appearance as last year.
