...eighty-eight board has left the Advocate, and in leaving has launched forth a bitter criticism against the management of the CRIMSON. We have a great respect for the opinions of our sister paper, knowing that she always says what she means and says it well. But in this case she has been a little ungenerous-nay, unjust. If the gentleman who wrote that stinging editorial will turn to past files of the CRIMSON he will see that the paper has greatly improved typographically. Accidents will happen occasionally, of course; but the general appearance is superior to that of past...
...makes Yale victorious over us in athletics; it applies just as well to literary rivalry. The editors of the Yale News are practically paid of their work, since a large surplus is divided among them at the close of every year. That is an inducement to work for the paper, which lack of graduate financial support prevents our having here. There are fifty competitors for the Yale News where the CRIMSON has ten. The Advocate should understand this, since she herself has wept over and bemoaned the indifferent spirit among Harvard...
...volume, and yet there are but two representatives of that class on the board. There is plenty of ability hidden away some where in the class, and it is either laziness or false modesty that keeps it in the background.

There ought to be enough class pride or class shame to induce some men to come forward as competitors for positions on the CRIMSON. It is not such a terrible "grind...
...founding a university at Worcester, in spite of the fact that both Harvard and Yale, two of the few American colleges which can lay a just claim to the title of "university," are grievously in need of financial aid. And now comes the report from a New York paper that "H. J. Furber, Jr., a rich young millionaire of Chicago, is preparing to found a large university in that city, and will devote $1,000,000 to the purpose...
...pleasant one. Though the eighty-eight board was sadly reduced in numbers, yet they made up in quality what they lacked in quantity. The CRIMSON is better this year than ever before; and the improvement is mainly due to the men who have worked so faithfully on the paper through most of their college course and who have just left us. Fulsome praise is ever out of place and sounds conimonplace. But imitation is the sincerest flattery and it shall be the earnest endeavor of the present board to keep the paper up to the standard set by our predecessors...
