...equity, an uncertainty of opinion may arise even after the greatest professional authorities have been consulted and that this uncertainty may inevitably continue until the courts, in the course of formal proceedings, have pronounced themselves on the matter at issue. Neither is there any reason made manifest why Councillor Fitzgerald's view of the unconstitutionality of the Harvard Boston co-operative agreement should necessarily be accepted as correct until the particular question now raised has been judicially determined. But, by and large, as one more notable entry in the annals of undergraduate journalism, the editors of the Crimson have "runs...
...sass ever salutary? No man can feel altogether sure of the answer. But the editors of the Harvard Crimson offer a bit of sass today which may go down in the history of undergraduate journalism as the most epicurean of its kind ever known. The Crimson remarks that Councillor Fitzgerald, in his claim that the co-operative agreement between the Boston Public Library and the Harvard Business Library violates the constitutional anti-aid amendment "seems to have scored a point."

Now Councillor Fitzgerald suddenly grows strangely tender for the convenience of Boston's business men and on this part of his case as aforesaid it is difficult to have patience...
...important but, in so far as Mr. Fitzgerald's case involves the question whether the agreement between the two libraries is a violation of the anti-aid amendment the controversial situation is very different. Upon a careful, fresh reading of this section of the State's Constitution, no fair mind can deny that the councillor has been at least well justified in raising this issue. The language of the amendment is surprisingly inclusive, especially in its words restricting even the use of public property by any school or institution not wholly under public control. In this case, of course...
