It has never been the custom for a non-sectarian college newspaper man to read between the lines even in "his excitement." Nor is "his anger" aroused at a statement which bears upon its face its utter falsity. Any Harvard student who is willing to subscribe to a declaration that his college is a hot-bed of incipient nihilism, scepticism, "lying," and irreligion can do so, but it should be upon his own authority...

Many who had invited female friends to attend the games find themselves in a peculiarly embarrassing position, and for the sake of humanity we hope that the wishes they have expressed for the speculators may not be realized.
