We realize that this is only the second game Haughton has lost in three and a half seasons, a record probably without parallel in Harvard athletics.

The editors of the Monthly no doubt acted thoughtlessly, but none the less they made a mistake. They would have seen, had they reflected, that good taste demanded the suppression of a work which might give pain. H. T. CAREY...
