Birthday; No Crime

This is the CRIMSON'S 77th birthday. On January 24, 1873, ten editors twirled their moustaches, totalled up their plus-fours, and greeted the first edition of the MAGENTA. The name did not quite fit at the top of the page, so they persuaded of the College to change its colors to crimson.

Beginning their 78th year of faithful delivery, CRIMSON newsboys, whose white and hoary beards are beginning to drag a little and impede their progress, will be given an extra day to make the rounds. Therefore the local paper will not be on the stands until Thursday.
