...recent editorial in the CRIMSON as credited to the Yale News a remark concerning our "attacks upon the freshman eleven." We think that the remark should have been ascribed to the Courant. We are sorry for the misunderstanding but cannot but deplore the puerile spirit of the New's reply in which we are accused of coining questionable stories in order to fill space.

(Dickens and De Quincey). Nestor's boast of the prowess of his youthful days is paralleled at last. Yes, the youth then were more mature and (individually) they wore Indian blankets, made by the Bay State Mills, in chapel; and there then prevailed "a high, keen, intellectual energy among...
