...able to announce to those interested in the reading-room that the success of the project is now assured. The fact that the Harvard Union has appointed a committee to take charge of the matter is a guarantee that the reading-room will be established, and we think that the action of the Union will be much appreciated. The advantages of a reading-room are undeniably great, and we do not doubt that the reading-room will prove a great success...
...insinuates that your correspondent belongs in the list. He not only accuses him of being a crank, but declares that he is untruthful and malignant. If the "Graduate" would read the accounts of the so-called sophomore-freshman rush which appeared in some of the Boston papers, I think that even he could not deny that a "Battle at Cambridge," followed by double leads, was more than "graphic description." This report was copied all over the country. In the papers of New York statements were made that several men had been severely injured. It is this very spirit which...
...notice that the Advocate has taken up the question of providing the '88 crew with cups as mementos of the race they so gallantly won last summer. We think this proposal is all the more worthy of acceptance, as '88 was virtually thrown out of all chance of trying for the cups in the class races last May by the referee's refusal to allow her to replace her broken rudder. We think that the Boat Club ought to give a reward, be it ever so little, to the men who worked so earnestly to bring honor to their class...
...graduate who sees fit to criticise the ground taken by our correspondent who, in one of our issues of last week, took occasion to find fault with the methods pursued by some of the reporters of the Boston dailies in their accounts of recent accidents at Harvard. We think that this letter requires no comment, other than the remarks that the reports published in the Boston press were dressed in most glaring colors and had but a thin thread of truth running through them. We must again make a distinction between the legitimate gathering of news, and the sensational writing...
...truth. Graphic description is not falsification. Facts may be disgraceful, but it is the business of the reporter to give them, not to express them. If a reporter cannot tell facts in an interesting way, he must make room for somebody who can. Allow me to say that I think this anonymous attack on the character of well-known gentlemen is far more disgraceful than any sensational story I have ever seen printed about Harvard. I hope that neither jealousy nor any other motive may lead to its repetition...
