...trade has not made greater advances." In the United States, Russia and Germany, protection never flourished more than in the last twenty-five years. Americans are substantially protectionists to-day. Protection has grown. England's free trade policy was due to a search for cheaper food and a zealous attack against the aristocratic classes. Had the agitation been raised on any other grounds than those of cheaper food it is a question whether England would not yet have protection. England, however, is the exception. As a rule protection has been advancing, because, (1), of the fact that every...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON, -Kindly allow me to reply to a communication headed "The Advocate Criticised." Your correspondent himself virtually grants that the sparring in question was "slugging." He then characterizes the article in the Advocate as a "violent personal attack." This statement is absolutely false.

Again, I think that a paper which does this, should be at least consistent in its procedure. Why does it not name the gentleman who misbehaved in the wrestling...
...John E. Todd in his tirade against the present curriculum at Yale, sums up his attack as follows: "A medley-a smattering of language, sciences and subjects, not one of which is there any solid foundation laid for future acquirements, mingled with a thorough acquaintance with the rules of athletic games, the composition of mixed drinks, and the mysteries of poker-such is the present college education...
