...fire to the Freshmen. By a ruling of the faculty he was deprived of all cuts for the rest of the year and told in no uncertain terms that the word "small fry" is purely figurative. Somewhat taken aback he took refuge in communistic methods. Yesterday, however, in a saner moment, these were discarded for the better part of valour, which, as everyone knows, is discretion.

It is regrettable that Yale has encroached upon the portion of distaste for crowd hysteria lately and solely possessed by the ten thousand men. But it has done so and what barbs are thrown in the future must be received upon the joined bucklers...
