Such a conference, with all its high ideals about bigger, better and more continuous production assumes a rather ridiculous position in the order or things. A great deal of energy working without any brains always stands a fair chance of accomplishing very little and it is in this respect that the Amsterdam gathering is more closely related than at first appears to so many other groups which differ only in the end to be obtained. Reform, limited by sanity and a sense of humor is an essential in human relations but the incessant dinning and nagging about every little thing...

...Harvard Athletic Association in this instance apparently more than maladroit, then, not alone is the stand commendable, it is reasonable. If, however, it traces more directly to the unpleasant episodes of the last weekend, the CRIMSON, while admiring Princeton's maintenance of a decent and convincing self respect, feels that the decision to break off relations with Harvard is too abrupt. The CRIMSON believes that such unpleasant incidents as those mentioned can be made unique in the history of Princeton-Harvard intercourse by means such as those suggested in yesterday's editorial: formal negotiation by proper-representatives...
