...Harvard is not sorry that she has taken the stand she has. As we have pointed out before, she is in a far better position than any she has occupied since the football league was organized. What cause, then, she has for regret we cannot see. The Advocate is wrong in saying that Harvard has made a mistake in withdrawing, but that having made this mistake she must maintain her position. If we were really in fault it would clearly be our duty to retract regardless of consequences. But, save in the inopportune appointment of the committee to confer with...

And yet our correspondent is wrong in stating that the dual league is purely a Harvard scheme. The CRIMSON has had occasion to consult some prominent Yale men upon the subject, and while they have indeed spoken guardedly, they have yet assured us that the sentiment of Yale was in favor of the scheme. The exceptional good fellowship displayed at the Spring field game also, may justly be regarded as an index of Yale's sentiment; and more than...
