...refuse to compete with any other colleges. We should like to say once for all that Harvard men have no such conception of a dual league. We cannot speak for Yale, but unless we are greatly mistaken, she will unite with Harvard in protesting that neither college, in the event of a dual league, has any idea of shutting down on contests with other colleges.
