President Lowell's letter to Princeton's President Hibben made the only possible apology -- that the Lampoon's lack of sense of humor is apt to be replaced by grossness. But the gash torn by the blundering Poon was too deep to heal quickly, and on November 10th, 1926, Princeton suspended athletic relations with Harvard.
