EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Now that all the doubt and uncertainty surrounding the Thanksgiving recess has been cleared up, I think it is time to give the college some expression of the views of a large body of students who did not approve of the measures made use of by two of the papers to obtain a longer recess.

Now that the college faculty has taken such pains to eradicate all professionalism from college athletics, I think they should go further and endeavor to keep out all "Yaleism." I do not wish to say anything against any of the Yale eleven personally; but, to draw it as mild as possible. I believe that their enthusiasm and earnest desire to win, laudable enough in itself, causes them...
