DEAR EDITORS CRIMSON. - One of the items in your issue of yesterday seems to refer to my former communication to you. Excuse me if I say that the comments in that item are irrelevant; I might even put a harsher word and call them flippant. While suggesting that upperclassmen invite freshmen to their rooms, I made no mention of lunch or any other kind of entertainment, as I know well that most of us demand no more than that we should be allowed to mingle on terms of equality with the older fellows.

Quite a breeze was created at Yale to-day by the appearance in the Yale Courant of the following editorial: "It is with some hesitation that we venture upon a subject that can hardly have escaped the attention of the college at large. We refer to the character of the Sunday service as now existing at Yale.

The west fronts of Stoughton and Hollis are exposed to this continuous sound, beside which lawn mowers and mucker choruses are music. Cannot this work be postponed a few weeks, until men have left college? The building would be none the worse...
...another column the announcement that Columbia will hereafter admit women to the School of Arts upon the same footing with men. This is a step toward progress, if we may judge from the high success which has been attained in similar actions by other universities. We need not refer to the work at present done by women at the Boston University and the university of Michigan. Sufficient proof that women can compete successfully with men upon a collegiate basis is found in a comparison of the work done by men and by women at those universities. Few will...
