...this fashion. Harvard makes no claim that she has in the past been above reproach. She, too, though in a somewhat less degree than some of her sister colleges is open to criticism for the past. She does maintain, however, that her actions this year have been straightforward and honest, and of this she certainly has a right to be proud. We thank Mr. Hooper for his success in refuting the slander which has been set loose upon us. In justice to Harvard his letter ought to reach the public as well as the students. The newspapers are certainly...
...fear to give the college time to consider it? Why spring this alliance of the "fox and goose" on the university? The answer is, 'To take advantage of the ill-feeling excited by the Princeton game to get rid of Princeton.' Why not have done this in a straightforward deliberate way, if it is desired by both Harvard and Yale. Surely they are not bound in any way. Harvard, it is conceded, has been generally outwitted by Yale in council as well as in the field, and we read this morning that Yale is showing her love...

The CRIMSON it must be remembered is a daily paper and hence demands men of energy. To such the three or four vacancies are now open...
...apparent rivalry between them has always been more fancied than real. That phase of college journalism by which one paper makes capital by carping at another is past. At Harvard, the papers have learned to rely upon themselves and confine their comments upon their contemporaries to friendly and usually straightforward criticisms. The proposed dinner is a rational outcome of the tendency towards co-operation, and of the decroase in the spirit of rivalry. We are sure it will call forth great enthusiasm and much good feeling and hope the plan will be successfully carried...
