There has been one reaction predominant in the college--as disclosed in letters to the Crimson and as voiced in discussion roundabout--since the publication of Tuesday's editorial. This is the attitude that, while tutoring schools are indeed vicious and overgrown, there is a reason for their existence. This reason is the worthless teaching and organization in a great number of courses, the unreasonable demands for work in others, the refusal...

A more impressive comparison starts with their 2-6 defeat at the hands of North Carolina State, a team which later defeated...
