EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - I have just had my attention called to F. W. K.'s reply to my letter in number IV of the Advocate; it does not meet my charges fairly and squarely in any particular, and, when considered carefully, is hardly worth a reply; but I will say this much to it. In my letter I deplored the fact that English literature was but taught in a fragmentary fashion here, although the fragments might be very highly polished; and F. W. K. will surely remember my words concerning Prof. Child. The stimulus towards reading, (and extensive reading), gained...
...most irregular, and it is to this that the most attention must be given. At times it was remarkably good, but then again the most glaring faults were made evident and the same errors repeated in two or three successive plays. Great improvement must be made in this particular before either Harvard or Princeton are met. Such teams will be quick to follow up the advantage obtained with most disasterous results to Yale. Princeton has a rush line equal to our own if not better, so that the game with her will have to be won by the superior work...

November 14, service commencing at 7.30. The public, the students of Harvard University in particular, are cordially invited to attend...

And still, after more than two centuries, do Winthrops, Endicotts, Saltonstalls, Bulkleys, Danforths, Rogerses, Hoars and Wigglesworths represent at these tables the founders of the college and the Commonwealth. Here, too, by our sides...
...does not lie in Boston? Why the students should not accommodate their Boston friends by visiting that city instead of simply marching through provincial Cambridge? We need only say in the first place that the procession was not originated as a form of amusement for the inhabitants of any particular section, and in the second place that to transfer the scene of the celebration to Boston would render the whole occasion ridiculous. Here the college was founded, here should its foundation be celebrated. Any idea which regards the celebration as simply a means of amusement is unworthy of the occasion...
