...laws, obsolete statutes from the old 'blue laws' period, red tape in connection with licenses -all of these are used to bar the play from theatres or to stop performances. But the real issue of freedom of opinion and the right to express it is clearly the crux of the matter. Not only those who are concerned with the theatre but everyone who wants to preserve the American heritage of civil liberties will bitterly resent this arbitrary suppression of a play which has been widely acclaimed...

Herein lies the crux of the problem. Is it desirable to put athletics on a noncommercial basis, at some cost to the intellectual life of the University? Because we do not believe it is, we are happy that the changes are taking place at Harvard, not at Yale. As long as Yale athletics are virtually self-supporting, without faint of professionalism among the players, we shall welcome every effort to keep them so. And that this has been possible up till now without the sacrifice of any sports should be for Yale a source of pride. --Yale Daily News...
