DEAR EDITORS CRIMSON. - One of the items in your issue of yesterday seems to refer to my former communication to you. Excuse me if I say that the comments in that item are irrelevant; I might even put a harsher word and call them flippant. While suggesting that upperclassmen invite freshmen to their rooms, I made no mention of lunch or any other kind of entertainment, as I know well that most of us demand no more than that we should be allowed to mingle on terms of equality with the older fellows. I am sure that we freshmen...
...while conforming to the convenience and task of all. The students would by this means be saved from the too common aimless reading of leisure moments, and would have their minds directed into a channel which would repay every effort, at the same time that it would relieve the harsher strain of studies more peculiarly collegiate in their character...

The HERALD feels that no good can come from any further discussion of this question. Every...
While we who, fortunately or unfortunately, are members of the harsher sex, have the liberty to publish anything we please in our college papers, we are sorry to learn that the same privilege is not enjoyed by the fair publishers and editresses of the Lasell Leaves. They, poor aspirants for journalistic fame, are obliged to subject all their manuscript and "copy" to the judgment of one who has the right to cut and slash the scented, pink-paper copy as he sees fit, and who, no doubt, in this manner robs the Leaves of many of its best articles...
