EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: If my communication in regard to the library was almost "too childish to notice," why did you use nearly a column of your valuable editorial space in trying to answer it?

...appear, we may feel assured that the influence of Harvard does not wane on account of the impossibility of holding alumni dinners of their own. Even at the bluest of blue Yale assemblies, a Harvard representative is one of the honored guests, and eloquent words are not lacking in answer to the toast for Harvard.
