Those people, who had looked upon the Boston Herald as a conservative, fair-minded publication, deserving of being ranked with the best newspapers in the country, were astonished to see in yesterday's edition, an exceedingly indelicate picture of one of the candidates for Mayor. It was a return to the "good old days" of city politics with a vengeance. The CRIMSON by no means holds a brief for Mr. Baxter. His presence in the present campaign seems distinctly uncalled for; but such tactics as the Herald used to discredit him are both unfair and unsportsmanlike. That a reputable paper...

...five geographic zones, or the multifarious divisions of the globe which biologists have wished upon us--it might seem that we have zones enough for the time being. But now the City Fathers of Cambridge have girded up their loins and prepared to go "zoning" in our own fair town. All Cantabrigia is to be divided into three parts.

...best of my knowledge there has been absolutely no official notice of the impending deprivation. As it is, a great many men have been put into a very embarrassing position. Before a big event like the Yale game, when many men have invited friends from a distance, is it fair to expect them to cancel their invitation on a scant five days notice? PHILIP WALKER...

...welcome the Bulldog to Cambridge today, and the thousands who follow him on his quest to John Harvard's pantry. He probably realizes that he won't be received with a "Help yourself." In fact it is only fair to warn him that there is a cry about the Square, requesting that the same treatment be given him as the possum; "Carve him to the bone". A peculiar sort of hospitality, that! But for that matter a peculiar sort of quest; we have heard that growl before--it means business...
