...will attack "muckerism" at Yale just as severely as we do at Harvard, or whenever it comes in contact with us; and reconsideration's or retractions coming weeks after the trouble complained of, will be viewed through the vista which time accords, and consequently cannot have the weight of immediate denial. Glad as we should be to consider the position of the News tenable, we cannot do so, nor can we unite with it in considering the reported words of the Yale captain as "a petty matter."

It would not be very difficult to start a college laundry, a steam laundry, where soiled linen could easily, if necessary, be disinfected, and where at least the sources whence clothes come would be known...
