...writer of the account of the Brown-Harvard game, in today's issue of the CRIMSON, "crows like a well-bred cock" over the fact that the score of the game silences "those Brown men who have so consistently contended that Harvard was doing wrong in keeping the best Crimson players out of the game." It is quite conceivable that the score does not give an accurate idea of the relative merit of the two teams, but that is a futile argument.

There can be no more certain proof of genuine hospitality than that shown to the Commodores by the Harvard student body and faculty on their recent visit to the Crimson stronghold. It is true that a great part of these favors was shown by Southern men, yet the entire university population was eager to make the stay of the Vanderbilt warriors a pleasant...
