...publish elsewhere a communication from the president of the Dining Association in reply to the editorial in yesterday's CRIMSON. Apparently the disturbances, which have become so frequent of late, will be stopped, even if radical measures must be adopted. If the men refuse to look at the matter in the right light and persist in this deplorable custom of hissing and stamping, there is but one course of action - that is to close the gallery to visitors. It does not reflect much credit on the better side of a man's nature, if, after making a reasonable appeal...

The nine is not bound by any agreement, and it is almost safe to say that if it meets Harvard and Princeton...
