This apparent contradiction is rather a difference than a contradiction, and the difference results from different interpretations of what anglomania is. If the Anglomaniac can be said to be one who imitates English customs because in his heart he believes them better than the corresponding customs at home, then surely Anglomania is not to be decried.

...contest, please accept our hopes that you enjoyed your Thanksgiving dinner, and that many more are in store for you. We can understand why Lampy. displayed his discretion, rather than his valor, for we caused such a commotion a short time ago by striking out apres Lampy that the heart of the college joker still trembles. Well Lampy, seek consolation from your pipes and cigarettes, and thank heaven for your prudence, for if the mere mention on paper that we were after you caused such commotion, what would happen if our foot-ball captain should cry to his rushers...
