The Richmond Collegian lists pricing for its weekly edition published by the University of Richmond. It states 10 cents per copy and 2 dollars for a yearly advance, with a higher rate for mailed subscriptions.
The page lists editorial and staff roles at Westhampton College with names such as Gladys Shaw Charlotte Crews Louise Cooper and T C Williams plus a note on President Boatwright recovering at his Buckingham County home and not returning to Richmond until after the holidays.
The Collegian notes the departure of the longtime editor who kept late hours to advance Spiderdom’s paper. Ten observers praise his technic and organization, while it is hinted he plans to return to the University of Richmond next fall after leaving this term.
The Collegian moves beyond a single editor with eighteen writers and eight business staffers sharing duties. The shift aims to sustain high standards, widen university reach, and keep the paper as a university-wide voice serving all of Spiderdom.

An enthusiastic ode to a Rat Class marking a milestone in Spiderdom, praising discipline, service, and school spirit. It urges members to study, attend chapel, support teams, and uphold mild codes while embracing college life as a measure to be filled.
The piece frames the New Year as a second chance for students to redeem past failures from the fall term and begin anew in college life. It urges better use of time and energy, a fresh slate, and a clean start as winter term approaches.
In reflecting on the upheaval caused by the withdrawal of Richmond and the White-Jones dispute at William and Mary, local leaders lament the rupture between historic favorites. They urge harmony, argue that law school players gave an edge, and call for a peaceful policy across football, basketball, baseball, and track to restore competitive balance.
The Collegian announces this issue is the final edition before Christmas. The Spider weekly will resume the Friday of the first full week after campus returns in the new year.
A critical campus review praises Spaulding for a hot sketch that drew instant laughter. The piece notes the campus chorus of Don’t you know and the hidden motto If you are discovered you are lost, highlighting the performer’s success in delivering lines.
