...correspondent writes to the Boston Advertiser criticising the recent action of the board of overseers in passing a vote to revoke any degree within one week after commencement, if cause of complaint is found against the recipient for disorderly conduct. The letter cites abundant legal precedent, and shows the absurdity of the regulation, as being illegal and impossible of execution-a criticism that has occurred to all, we have no doubt, upon first reading the vote...
...striking contrast with the above is the conduct of our Boston papers toward us; they pass over Yale's mode of playing with a cool indifference; they say that Yale played an unfair game, but they simply mention the fact casually, and do not even take the trouble to condemn such play. It is not only on this occasion, but on many similar ones that our Boston dailies have shown their absolute indifference to Harvard interests. This would not be so noticeable but for the fact that several of the New York papers show enough interest in college matters...
What the cause of this conduct on the part of Boston papers is can only be conjectured. It is well known that most of the reporters of college affairs are college graduates. The opinion has been advanced that the spirit shown in these accounts of games is simply a manifestation of the old complaint, Harvard indifference - this time a sort of postgraduate indifference...
...another column is perhaps too vehement in his denunciations of Yale and what in general he terms "Yaleism." We are ready to believe that there are gentlemen at Yale, in spite of last Saturday's performance, and that the general sentiment of that college, when the facts and general conduct of their team in the Harvard game are fully and fairly explained, will not uphold such practices as were then indulged in. It cannot be denied that the conduct of Yale's team is responsible for a feeling - and a very intense feeling - of hostility and indignation at Harvard against...
...hybrid thing it is at present. It is not easy for people of practical sense to regard with patience the preposterous attitude of Harvard in relation to the annex. If it is willing to have any pedagogical relations whatever with women students, it ought to be willing to conduct them on the same terms that are granted by Oxford and Cambridge - universities that were venerable with years and honors before Harvard was born into a land which parades its radicalism and its intellectual progress. It is time that the hobbledehoy twaddle about the dangers of this co-education were stopped...
