...article in the Crimson is worth anything at all, it ought to come out flat-footed and say what it means. If it means graft, then it ought to be easy to show it or keep still. If it means to cut the privileged classes, who will it cut and how many? Let the CRIMSON show us how many tickets it can save by its change of system. It has only got to save 5000 right now, and it won't save that many if it cuts out entirely the Corporation, the Board of Overseers, the Old Players...
...contributor demands that the CRIMSON come out "flat-footed" and say what it means, suggesting a solution of the problem. The question is not so much how to "save" tickets as how to distribute them most equitably...

How Mr. Monteux is able to do so well with both moderns and "ancients" is an enigma to many at least of his hearers...
...apotheosis and myth-making have long been going on, and for a long time were encouraged and practiced by our historians and biographers. "I say, don't you hate that damned Washington?" Rufus Choate is said to have said over a table at the Parker House. He meant the flat and rigid Byzantine enshrined Washington, the "faultless monster" of seventy years ago. A human, intelligent, and peccaole Washington has taken the place of that image. Professor Hart curiously mentions Washington's love of buying lottery tickets among his defects. At least one building in the Harvard Yard was built...
