HOME FOR HARVARD LAMPOOM
viii Be the Only College Publication
That Can Make Such a Boast.

That Can Make Such Boast
Already distinguished as the Oldest
comic paper In the United States, the
Harvard Lampoon Is to have II hand
some building. giving II the honor OF
possessing the only one owned and oc-
cupied by college publication and of
being one of the few comic papers to
have homes of their own.
Work has already begun on the
structure in Cambridge. Mass. so that
the handsome quarters will be ready
for "Lampy" by next fall. An entire
block bounded by Bow, Mount Auburn
and Plympton streets will be utilized.
Edmund March Wheelwright, '76,
who was one of the founders Of the
paper, now a distinguished architect,
has drawn the plans In the style Of
Dutch renaissance. Nodded brick, null
lioned windows and n tiled roof with
two towers give the building a quaint
distinction from other college struc-
lures. This striking clubhouse. which
is to be fianked with Lombardy pop
lars, will, however, harmonic artis~
tically with its surroundings.
One of the features will be the tow.
er containing the ibis nest, an exclu--
sive apartment for the president OF
the board of editors. The ibis Is q /,
wise bird which interjects remarks In,
the dialogue of the by the Way" COL
umn, which Is perennial feature of,
the Lampoon humor. Professor Bar
ret Wendell, IT. when an editor Of the
Lampoon. originated the ibis as fea-
ture Of the paper, the sagacious bird
being used as was the dog In the Eng
lish Punch.
The nest is in the western tower and
from balcony overlooks the big ban
quoting hall. Lampoon dinners will
undoubtedly In the future be as ia
nous as those Of the past because the
new building will have special kitch-
ems and halls for the purpose There
is also to be a large hall for Lampoon
celebrations
That Mr.. Wheelwright shcdld be the
architect is especially fitting, since he
was not only on the first board of edi-
tors, but also designed the cover piece
for the original issue. which has be-
come trademark
"Lampy" was born in the minds of
Ralph Wormeley Curtis. TO. and his
classmate. John T. Wheelwright. who
while attending course Of lectures on
the fine arts given by the late Charles
Eliot Norton conceived the idea of
producing college Punch" The first
number was issued Feb. 10, 1875.

With the object of raising the stand

establishment of training school In
which graduates of colleges and scien.

fray all the expenses of the school and
will pay the students living wages
during the course of two years. Dur.

paid SIS week. The second year
men will receive $40 week. To give

ut is my intention" said Mr.. Root,
''to establish practical training school
for young men. particularly graduates
Of high schools, manual training
schools, colleges and universities, who
have had more or less technical train
ing and who intend to enter upon the
vocation of operating street railroads.
1t is the aim to make the conditions
advantageous to the young man who
has an inclination to enter upon work
Of this character.
"Such a man under the proposed
plan will have an opportunity to ac
quaint himself with the details Of the
work, while receiving at the same
time a salary which will. with strict
economy. enable him to be self sup
porting. He may thus determine fol
himself whether he is fitted and has O
liking for employment Of this charac

profit by the experiment in that II
will be possible to test the capacity
