...plotting and leaguing against this university. We are altogether too prone here to imagine other colleges prejudiced against us, and this spirit is, in a measure, fostered by some of our younger graduates. It is a false and unsafe feeling, and one that in the end is bound to affect us in an unfavorable way, both ourselves personally, as members of Yale University, and at the hands of other colleges with whom we have dealings. This idea has been put forward so much in the late discussion of the base-ball question that it has become quite common for certain...
...cites many good authorities to support him in this and the taxation question. The "Problem" being solved he closes with the defiant remark that "if this be socialism, I am a socialist. . . ." Such books seldom do good, yet they often have their use. Let us hope this one may affect any mind that takes it up for good.

...publish in our communication column a letter from a gentleman who objects to receiving postal cards informing him that, "so and so '8 -, will run over the course in French XVII, and will comment on each play read; price, $1.00." We see no reason why this should affect the gentleman's delicate sensibilities any more than an advertisement in the CRIMSON to that effect, or a poster on the bulletin boards, or a folder in his morning paper.

...Williams Fortnight very justly and creditably takes exception to the disparaging remarks made by Mr. Howells in Harper's Monthly on "amateur rhymsters." Mr. Howell's remarks probably affect men in college more than others, for most "amateur rhymsters" are usually college men also. The work of amateurs in the poetic art he would discourage by means of "most brutal" criticism. Why amateur verse should receive brutality any more than the most professional verse that has ever been written, we find it hard to see. On the contrary, we think that young poets should have encouragement, not discouragement. If poetry...
...inspire, would be preserved, instead of being, as at present, foolishly and blindly wasted. The very manliness of a nobler ideal would ripen into nobler lives. The memories of such a service would linger in every mind and heart. The finer and subtler influences emanating from it would profoundly affect every life...
