EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: The project of giving up our annual foot-ball game with Yale, advocated by your correspondent yesterday, seems to me to be neither practicable nor advisable. In the first place such a proceeding would give our opponents a point against us, which they would not fail to use with their accustomed incapability of appreciating gentlemanly action. In the next place, there are other ways of forcing the Yale men to act like gentlemen if they cannot do so of their own accord. As Yale is the only exponent and champion of college "muckerism," and as every college...
...method of Harvard of all colleges there is the happy medium. Her attack is strong, and yet she does not permit the enemy to make his way to her goal unmolested. But she is in need of practice. Some of her men fail in picking up the ball and in passing in the field.

That such a document could have been written and signed on the 7th of July is easily understood, as at that time nothing had been said on Harvard's part to completely explain the difficulty. But after Harvard's part has been officially explained, and that...
...spring lottery tends to make a man very timid about loosening his hold on his former quarters, however bad. As to the need of more dormitories in the yard, such a question seems beyond debate, and to such a demand as the present the college must not fail to reply in some way satisfactory to the mass of wandering boarders. But the point which we would most strongly emphasize, is the necessity of the future building being owned by such persons or corporations as labor in the interests of the students, so that the generations to come may feel that...
