...recent exchanges, in a somewhat extended notice of the Harvard publications, has taken occasion to sneer at one of our papers, and show by invidious comparisons that our publications are not what they profess to be. While we do not desire to question the taste of the writer of such a criticism, we still feel that the courtesy of the press ought to have influenced the expression. The kindly feeling which has long existed between the various college papers, cannot easily be destroyed by criticisms of such a nature, but more pleasant relations will result in the future...
...publish with pleasure a communication taking exception to one of our recent editorials. We anticipated a difference of opinion between us and some of our readers, when we inserted the editorial referred to.

The Princetonian and News express almost as much satisfaction with the recent action of our faculty as characterizes the most jubilant Harvardian. These courteous greetings are expressive of a generous rivalry that speaks well for the contest next fall...
...periodical discussion as to how the expense of a college course nowadays compared with the cost a generation ago, has been started afresh by some talk on the subject at a recent reunion of the Yale alumni in Springfield, Mass. The great difficulty about reaching a just conclusion is the lack of sufficient trustworthy data. Startling stories are told as to the extravagant sums which are spent by rich youths at New Haven or Cambridge, and listeners at once jump to the conclusion that only millionaires can foot the bills of a student at Harvard or Yale. Even the average...
