Since Painter Brush is already 74 years old, it is unlikely that he will collect any money from Mrs. Brooks-Aten. No foxy sycophant tricking unwary ladies with oiled flatteries for which they can ill afford to pay, Artist Brush had better things to do last week than to gloat upon the precedent his suit had established or to bewail the obdurateness of Mrs. Brooks-Aten.

Harvard can, better than most colleges, afford to do without the income that is a constant excuse for foot ball emphasis. It can continue to refuse an enlarged Stadium to be used as a whole on one afternoon in two years. It can instill in the present college generation, the embryo count, a sane ideal of athletics...
