...regret the inaccurate and provocative headline (Bender Threatens Expulsion for Any Yale Game Vandals) which the CRIMSON used on its story about Yale game week-end rules which appeared Tuesday morning. The Dean's Office does not threaten students. It expects Harvard students to behave with a reasonable degree of intelligence and sense of responsibility to their college without being "threatened" like schoolboys, and we are rarley disappointed.

But where other note-makers have nailed their colors to the mast and let their hair down to the last soiled lovelock, urbane Maugham has preferred to soak his colors in bleach and pin his hair in a tight bun.
