...CRIMSON believes that the election was marred by the inefficiency of the Nominating Committee; in this regard it does not retract from the stand taken in the editorial referred to by Mr. Pierson. At the time the facts at hand seemed to warrant the specific charges mentioned against the Committee; further investigations has shown some of them to be founded only in part. The CRIMSON has confidence in the ability of the Committee to manage the coming election without a hitch; it believes that the Committee will fully justify itself in the eyes of the University...
...announced that over one half of the team was on probation. This was, as we discovered afterwards, an exaggeration for only three out of the eleven were in this standing. At the same time although we are glad to see that we were wrong as to figures, we cannot retract our words of condemnation of those Freshmen who will be needed next fall.

...discussion raised by President Eliot's speech on journalism has not yet subsided, since certain Philadelphia papers refuse to retract their first reports. That President Eliot had been misrepresented was evident even before he had denied the newspaper statements. His objections to teaching journalism at colleges are supported by the best, thinkers, and have yet to be answered satisfactorily. That his rebuke to newspaper managers was well deserved is shown by the way many of them acted about his speech. The misrepresentations and attempts to make a sensation out of his remarks cannot be too strongly censured...
