EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - In your issue of the 12th inst, you published an editorial criticising the reported action of the Yale faculty in regard to Prof. E. R. Thompson's course of lectures at Yale on Protection.

But the unity and evident earnestness of Mr. Houghton's work will redeem any possible error of ethics shown. The applications to Harvard life and ideas are well based and strongly made. But upon this subject a difference of opinion is inevitable. And yet there is much reason in the remarks. Hearty congratulations are due the editors of the Monthly for the true merit of their...
