FOR SOPHOMORES AND FRESHMEN.

The spring CRIMSON competition for Sophomores and Freshmen will start tomorrow evening. There are undoubtedly a great many underclassmen to whom the idea of trying for the CRIMSON has at times occurred. To such men, the following remarks are addressed.

An undergraduate does not live his four years of life at Cambridge with a full appreciation and enjoyment of them, unless he does more in College than merely study or loaf. By entering a CRIMSON competition, a man plunges at once "in medias res" and he soon gets to know all the many and varied activities of the University. In no other way can a student acquire such a quantity of information of the many-sided life at College.

The contest does not call for any exceptional literary ability. Average intelligence and persistent, Conscientious work are the only essentials. Finally, for the candidates that survive and become editors there is a solid satisfaction such as only the success in a stiff competition can give.
