EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - On reading the communication in your issue of yesterday one does not know whether to feel resentment at the uncalled-for insult offered to one of the foremost citizens of Massachusetts, or pity for the littleness of the man who must have listened to an extremely eloquent, manly and useful lecture, solely for the purpose of finding something to criticise. Our "Mugwump" is sorry "that Mr. Lodge could give us no better advice than that the doctrine of expediency should be our rule of life." There was nothing in the lecture which admits of such a construction...
...like stamp which flourish on the plains of Texas. According to this highly tinted fiction, Harvard is a hot-bed of incipient Nihilism and irreligion.

To have such a thing occur on Harvard grounds is not only an insult to our third baseman, but an insult to Harvard; and as such should bring forth an apology from every member of the Yale freshman nine. If such a thing happens on our own grounds, "what are the freshmen to expect at New Haven...
...however, that the Senior Class has little to fear from the Blaine and Logan Battalion. But even if there were a question as to their following up their words with deeds, the course of the seniors should not be influenced thereby. If to carry the transparency would be an insult to the Republicans or a violation of the college practice, the temptation to engage with the Law School myrmidons would not dissuade us from doing what is right. It is too late to bring this matter up in class meeting, but, if this communication can exert any influence, I hope...
