...statemente made in yesterday's editorial (December 7th) dealing with the public career of Robert Marion La Follette are nothing short of unmitigated slander. Either you have deliberately mis-represented the facts, or you are ignorant of them. If the former is the case, let me repeat, even at the expense of boring you, that you do not have to agree with a man to give him a square deal. But if the latter is the case, allow me to recommend considerable further study of the life and policies of the Senator from Wisconsin. A fair editorial cannot be based...
...deeply regret that Mr. MacVeagh's article was not anticipated by a contribution on the same subject from a Jewish student. But now we can only join Mr. MacVeagh in his scathing denunciation of those responsible for the slander and lies attributed to them by the "Boston American". These students have done as great an injustices to their coreligionists as to the subjects of their calumny, and can be no more easily pardoned by the one than by the other. We are sure that in this we are expressing the sentiments of all Jewish students at Harvard. SAMUEL L. BOKSENRORN...
...statement that is most outrageous and amazing in its falseness is that which describes Professor R. B. Merriman as being at the head of "a drive against the Jewish", and as having been given "carte blanche" by President Lowell for this purpose.

Finally I must congratulate the contributing "Jewish student"--one who is so anxious for his academic opportunities as to wish to save them by slander, and so careful of his "scholastic standing" (?) as to hide behind the anonymity of the press! A shorter world for the above, whether or not in the Semitic dictionary's the uninspiring one of "cowardiee". The papers have recently been prolific of these statements by Jewish students, all equally irresponsible, anonymous, and untrue. Whatever the admirable qualities of the race, and the pure strain has many, they are being rapidly obliterated in the minds...
...told us more than 15 times that the Flumans are disgusted with D'Annunzio and that his "tenure of control of Flume" is "a matter of a few weeks at the most"; in short, he is the same man who has been so instrumental in conducting a campaign of slander against Italy and anything Italian. I deeply regret that the CRIMSON is humming in union with such an insidious propagandist...
