...have just finished reading the derogatory, fault-finding letters of several of your self-styled "charter subscribers." They have roused my ire-me, a mere newcomer to the ranks of TIME readers. I feel it my duty to mount the rostrum of Free Speech, to defend TIME, once more to proclaim the independence of the Press-its inalienable right to be frank with its readers and itself. Truth is the only legitimate censor of the Public Press. Errors (not lies) find their way into the printed page as they do in the spoken word. In speech, they are excused...
...oarsmen in the Combination eight indulged in the most strenuous workout of all the Crimson crews today. Coach Spuhn believes the chief fault of this eight is the failure of its oarsmen to get together on the swing, and in long spins today, he devoted his entire time to correcting individual faults. As the crew has been rowing so far, it has found considerable difficulty in putting the stroke up, and the lengthening out process will only come when the eight men are swinging in unison.

The East is both civilized and barbarous, and out of its barbarity new hordes may rush upon the flimsy fabric of occidentalism. In pushing strident commercial claims, the possibility of reaction must be remembered; and greed for a few dollars today must not be allowed...
...those peewit minds which are inclined to quibble over the minutiae. You have the right idea of what a weekly should be and you have certainly "hit the spot with me." But one admonition, and that for the future only, since I have never seen a trace of the fault in TIME in the past. That is: BEWARE OF OPINIONATED NEWS! Only facts, presented as you present them, are all that is necessary to keep TIME the unimpeachable criterion of all publications...
