EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: For several years it has been the custom of our Glee Club to give a concert in the yard to the members of the Princeton nine in the evening after the annual game between Princeton and Harvard at Cambridge. It has been a matter of wonder to many why a like honor has never been paid to the Yale nine. There is no apparent reason why the nine from one of our sister colleges should be more honored than that from the other. The distinction that has been made every year probably arose from some accidental circumstances...
...long is this complaining nursery chatter to continue? The wholesale undignified censure which the Harvard press has of late visited upon Yale and the "old ally" is a matter of regret and difficult to account for. Is it to be wondered at that the professional press greedily fills its columns with sensational and distorted accounts of events and perchance indiscretions which occur in college life, when a college press allows itself to make representations and insinuations which, if appearing anywhere else, would be branded as false and utterly baseless.

...college, but should remain as a perpetual challenge cup. Then, of course, search was made for the record of the resolution of the association which gives Harvard her claim to the cup - only to result in the discovery that the secretary's records had been lost.

...Advocate" appeared on Saturday and contains much good reading matter. "Auf Widersehen" is a well-turned translation of Heine's lovely poem. "The Morality of Tom Jones" makes one or two good points but is not very much of a literary production. Considerable skill is shown in the treatment of a sketch entitled "The Streets of Boston." "Banished" is a bright, humorous conceit. Of the two papers on Milton and on Goethe, the latter is decidedly the stronger. They are both treated in a rather cursory way and the ideas embodied in both essays would not suffer from greater elaboration...
...Base-Ball League seems to us to be the necessity it involves of a reorganization of the League next year. The old question of a triangular or quadrangular association will have to be fought over again and if the present league is to be continued, it will be a matter of no little difficulty to fill Columbia's place satisfactorily. As to Columbia's position in the matter, we believe no fair-minded person can call it in question. While it is now evident that her admission to the League was a mistake, it is no less evident that...
