...CRIMSON seems to think that the entire centre of the field is given to privileged classes. If I remember rightly four sections were allotted on single seat applications. And whatever the article meant, it implies that our centre sections are given over to undue privileges and graft. If the CRIMSON has any suggestion worth while, it had far better make its suggestions to the Athletic Committee than in print where many people may not understand. Mr. Moore is bound by regulations and restrictions made for him by others in authority over him. After his admirable work of all these years...
...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.

...time to become rooted in the semi-barbarous Mexican soil before the yoke of Spain was thrown off; and poor as that tradition was there has been nothing since to take its place. That the United States could go into Mexico, take over the government completely, and forcibly graft onto the nation a tradition of government, is generally admitted. The advisability and ethics of such action can be left to the sociologists to decide. The question remains: can any people inheriting no strong tradition of government, starting from a disorganized condition, left entirely to themselves, gradually emerge...
