If this were so the April Fool "roughhousers" could throw their food and rattle their crockery in their own homes, where any damage to property or tempers could be repaired within the family household. The annual reversion to anthropoid tactics was omitted last year; the CRIMSON suggests that it be again postponed and the festival reduced to at least the triennial class...
