...size photographic pictures are now displayed in two large frames in the show-windows of King's book-store, showing every Harvard building and some others in the vicinity of Harvard square. By a careful examination of these pictures it will become apparent that to nearly every person they seem to be first-class photographs.

Why then do they not use those means to obtain those rights, instead of seeking a doubtful vindication by the hazardous and expensive method of starting a new paper? It would seem that this extraordinary readiness to abandon legal rights shows a lack of confidence in the validity of those rights, though so confidently asserted, and that the scheme of starting a new paper, instead of being the protest of a deceived and outraged majority, is the last resort of a beaten...
