...sustained humor. With heartfelt gratitude for its Transcript number, it may yet be said that all do not agree. There is, too, a certain difference in the task of editing a daily compared with that of publishing a fortnightly or monthly. And it may be noted that a bad joke is only a slight incident in one's mental life, but what one considers a bad editorial leaves a deep irritation. One good joke wipes out the memory of a thousand bad ones...
...contrary, one bad editorial wipes out the memory of a thousand good ones. Verily, the penalties for a bad joke are not great; but a bad editorial--beware, and remember what the esteemed new addition to Harvard journalism meted out to Mr. Lodge for a bad speech!

The few men who have come in touch with Colonel Goetz are already eagerly awaiting the time next fall when they shall be under the leadership...
Fairness is a good policy even in college journalism. The unnamed editorial writer in the CRIMSON seems to sneer at the bad fortune with which the University debating teams have met. It would be a safe wager that this writer has never attempted to participate in a debate, and he probably did not even attend the debate which brought on his laughable and amusing attempt at a display of immature wit. Does he know how much work a debate entails? Is it any worse to lose a debate than to be defeated in an athletic contest? Would he likewise suggest...
