EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON, -Kindly allow me to reply to a communication headed "The Advocate Criticised." Your correspondent himself virtually grants that the sparring in question was "slugging." He then characterizes the article in the Advocate as a "violent personal attack." This statement is absolutely false. The "attack" was not in the least a personal attack on the gentleman mentioned; the editors of the Advocate neither knew, nor, may it be added with all due respect, did they care, so far as criticizing the sparring went, who or what the gentleman was.

So many persons unable to read the originals read these translations believing them...
...book? And he not only writes a theme on the subject, but afterwards, in a fit of petty spite, bawls out his grief in a newspaper. We express no opinion as to the taste displayed, but we do hope that, after his sophomore year, he will regret this public attack on a deservedly popular instructor, where private redress, for his supposed wrong, might have been so readily obtained...
