...FROM the Courant we learn that the question of hazing is attracting much attention just now at Yale, and should judge that both those who are in favor of continuing the old custom and its opponents have very strong feelings upon the subject. A writer in the same paper suggests that "Bones men" refrain from wearing their pins in public, in order to do away with the hard feelings in the Senior Class "which are due to the relations of Bones men and Neutrals."

The Amherst crew have been a little sarcastic at the expense of the New Haven oarsmen. They say in a communication: "We have endeavored to look at the matter 'in a reasonable light,' and while we should be extremely sorry to see the Freshman race a failure, as Harvard has a crew chosen in accordance with the rules of the Association, we do not deem the presence of the Yale crew an indispensable necessity to insure...
