EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- It is a pity that in such a course as English 12 the instructor in correcting themes should amuse himself by making the writers the objects of his unkind criticism. He is no doubt innocent of any intended offense, and probably does not realize how unpleasant such unnecessary sarcasm is to the members of the course. Such criticisms not only irritate, but even discourage the men, who are made to feel that their work is considered anything but earnest, painstaking effort. It is an unpleasant surprise after the well-tempered criticisms of English...
...danger to the participants was concerned, the affair was harmless and worthy but little attention. Coming as it did, however, soon after the hazing affairs at Princeton, and the rough and tumble rush at Yale, it cannot fail to draw down upon the college a great mass of unkind criticism.

And then, too, the writer of the letter thinks that "the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will probably take part in the procession." Indeed ! Yet, having given this matter "early consideration" as was desired, we are led to move that...
...promising classmates. He was a man of remarkable parts, excelling in all that he undertook. He combined great brilliancy with great depth of intellect, and with his great power of application, he was easily one of the best scholars in the class. He was a man of whom no unkind word could ever be spoken. He was alike generous, kind, and of untiring energy...
