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?

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.
