...referring to your first article, I called it "inaccurate;" while, by your own admission, that adjective was not wholly inappropriate, I think, on the whole, I might better have used the word "misleading." When I used the word, I was thinking, not of the trivial blunder as to the cost of the "blazers," but to the rather broad and harsh clause in which it is said that the provision of such "luxuries" as "blazers," etc., "indicates a looseness in the handling of the crew money, which it would be well to investigate more closely." It may be true that such...
...CRIMSON has seen fit to "carry the war into Africa," by making the assertion that I am "inaccurate and misleading in one of my most important statements." Let us see how far this will bear investigation: I said, "I think I am right when I say that more money is spent yearly on the Yale crew than on the Harvard crew." Not having the figures at hand to prove this assertion, I was very careful to qualify it so that it should carry no more weight than is ordinarily accorded to an expression of opinion or belief. I rested...
...spend a couple of hours a day in making clippings under the given topics from, say twelve or fifteen of the more important newspapers of the country. If not, I believe a great deal of material would be accumulated by voluntary contributions from those interested.

...more prompt in their attendance at his lectures, especially on Thursdays, when Professor Hill's lectures are read, These lectures are very long, and require the full hour to finish them, even in a hasty manner. Students are very ready to take advantage of an instructor's tardiness, but think nothing of interrupting him in the midst of his lecture. An instructor would be justified, we think, in refusing to allow men to enter the lecture room after he had begun his talk. But allowance should be made for men who have courses which compel them to come from...
...other lectures that we understand are to come under the same auspices, give evidence that the H. T. A. L. is still alive and-, more than that,- prosperous. We are, however, glad to see the society, which has such good purposes, so progressive and enterprising; but we think that a mistake is made in not having these lectures in Sanders Theatre. Mr. Gough could have packed Sever 11 three or four times over, last Tuesday evening. If the lecture had been more widely advertised, the crowd must have been unmanageable...
