...Yale Courant opens fire with some two columns of items, misnamed editorials. It is pleasant, too, to know that "WE ARE CHAMPIONS!" The Courant is mostly Yalensicula and Book Table. The 'Varsity's change of cover is no improvement, we fear; but the 'Varsity is emphatically a paper of sound judgment, - except possibly as regards the Notre Dame Scholastic, with which it is waging bitter war on the question of a college paper's right to publish official communications. The Yale News appears to be seriously alarmed at the indications of a "brace" by Harvard in athletic matters. "When Harvard...

...become good debaters, but by all who seek that peculiar kind of improvement which, for want of a better name, is called "general culture." Great as the advantage is of listening to the speeches of four well-prepared disputants, it is small in comparison with the advantage of learning sound lessons in tact and acuteness from an instructor who has made these subjects a life study. To deliver just opinions not only on the merits of the disputants, but also on their defects, without regard to the persons criticised, is a task few can accomplish with success. The instructor...
