"HELP ME CASSIUS, OR I SINK."

When a business concern finds itself in financial difficulties which would disappear if its actual condition were consistent wish its books, its directors generally put their shoulders to the wheel and bring about a consistency. But when the Harvard University Register shows an actual deficit of a thousand dollars, none but its immediate managers seem to be concerned. The Student Council, which directs its publication, and the Harvard undergraduates, whom we might consider stockholders since they are the beneficients, take no apparent interest in the matter. If the Student Council members would realize their responsibility and if the undergraduates would imagine their condition without such a book as the Register and would then apply for trade, accept it when offered, or take sufficient interest to see if they might not pay some of their bills with it, the danger which now confronts the book would be removed. A little canvassing by the directors would do a world of good.
