...Harvard Union is not credited by all as being an enterprising association. At what time and in what manner this rumor arose it is difficult to state, but it is sufficient to call attention to the subject for this evening's debate to refute any ill founded remarks on the lack of enterprisc. An admirable example of its progressive spirit was manifest in the question debated at the last meeting before the recess and now again their interest in college matters is clearly shown in the topic chosen for tonight. All members should not fail to attend, and students...
...ideal newspaper will, in my judgment, print all the news-carefully discriminating, however, ascertained fact from rumor and from conjecture, giving to each subject space and importance in proportion to its just value relatively to other subjects, in the eyes of an intelligent, high-minded and broad minded public, and never considering who or what will be helped or harmed by the publication of the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- A note in your Fact and Rumor column of Wednesday touches upon the advisability of the tug-of-war. I agree with those who are discouraging these contests. A case where the dangerous consequences alluded to in your item did follow has come under my personal observation. It is that of a student in the Worcester Tech, some two years ago, who was so injured by the terrible strain of a tug-of-war that for months after he did not leave his bed. His whole life long he will suffer from his injuries. Similar cases...
