...with a hearty appreciation of his staunch and able argument for a universal recognition of the game. Probably no one person has been so convinced of the injustice of many leading newspapers in this country in perverting the real nature of the game besides denouncing it as being too brutal and rough, as Professor Johnson. Newspapers have so utterly misrepresented the game as to make it appear to the general public a diminutive war, into which the contesting sides go with the avowed intention of maiming bodies, dislocating joints and other similar features such as characterize a modern rough...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - I was not a little surprised, though not at all displeased, at the almost brutal attack the Advocate makes in its issue of yesterday on the venerable Harvard Union. To tell the truth, the Advocate's savage strictures seem to me to be the more unfeeling, because they are undoubtedly true; where the fault lies, and how it is to be remedied, is the awkward question which must be soon decided.

...that few women have our keen appreciation of the fine points of the so-called manly art. Strange to say, those who have not been trained to recognize the purely artistic and gentlemanly side of such a contest, are, in their ignorance, very likely to deem it merely a brutal pounding match.

Why amateur verse should receive brutality any more than the most professional verse that has ever been written, we find it hard to see. On the contrary, we think that young poets should have encouragement, not discouragement. If poetry is worth writing at all, it is worth the attention...
...years. He had seen with pitying eye the misery and suffering of his native land under the despotic rule of the Czar. He had followed his own brother, banished without trial, in his weary march to Siberia, until driven away from the band of exiles by the brutal blows of the guards. Soon he expected to take his degree, and then to wander again as a physician and propagandist among the peasants of Russia. Another remarkable man was a Jew, from Southern Russia. He had been arrested for publishing a paper, and thrown into prison without trial. He was kept...
