Some of the communications which the CRIMSON has received -- and has not printed--condemning the serving of beer at smokers would make snappy reading for many if copied by the outside press. Those willing to abuse Harvard on any pretext would find them truly engrossing. The CRIMSON does not wish to restrict freedom of discussion in its columns, but those who desire to make their views public should remember that harm is quite frequently done through utterances which should be confined to Cambridge...
...decidedly refreshing to discover an opinion that is neither. Your Saturday correspondent's communication on "Bear at Class Meetings" presents an issue, which, even after the CRIMSON's slaughtering funfest remains for our solution. To me that has always seemed a tyrannical custom which has imposed the use of beer at all class banquets or smokers.

I asked a policeman to put a stop to it at once. He refused. I have sent his number to Mr. Tibbetts...
...effects. Let us accept these facts if we have any devotion to knowledge at all, and carry out the consequences. After the Student Council has arranged a settlement of the Freshman Banquet matter, it will do well to turn to the other classes. There is no adequate reason why beer should be served at class meetings, and there are plenty of reasons why it should not. We might show the Harvard spirit in this as in other things: after the line in Fair Harvard...
