...Acta Columbiana is yet to be found at the old stand. No Yale men need apply...
BECAUSE the Acta Columbiana published a satire upon New Haven in general, and the Yale Record in particular, the Courant and the News announce that hereafter they will not exchange with the Acta. We are not surprised that the Courant should make so foolish a move; but we had looked for better things from the News. It is too much like the childish, "I won't play with you."

The Acta calls, for April 15, a meeting to organize an Intercollegiate Press Association, of which the "chief ends will...
