This matter has been a subject of complaint-every year since I have been in college, and it does seem to me that in a matter so trifling, men might exercise a little care and make all the relations in the reading-room more agreeable than they...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON : From several very confident expressions we have heard in regard to the Yale game, and from the evident relaxation in practice by the eleven, it would seem as if victory was considered certain. It must be remembered that Yale has a veteran rush line, as heavy, if not heavier, than our own, and that the game cannot possibly be won by the tactics which were used against Princeton.

The fact that Harvard's freshmen crew of '89 obtained a very lame victory, in fact no victory at all, over Yale's superior crew did not seem to weigh very heavily on the conscience of the Harvard men when they refused '90's challenge. 'Yet they cannot throw Columbia over because '90 lost the race last year. We would advise our esteemed contemporary to be consistent. If Harvard wishes to act in a manly, straightforward way let them accept...
