Some of the mud slung at Fielding in his lifetime has stuck through the centuries, but the last of it is scraped away in Henry Fielding, by Frederick Homes Dudden, master of Oxford's Pembroke College, a biography which must now become the standard work on Fielding. As a biographer, Master Dudden is as dull and honest as an old pewter pot; but he brims nevertheless with the sloshing ale of Fielding's vitality, and time & again the rollicking old genius seems to seize the pot in his pudgy fist, slam the table, and roar out his irrepressible...

Pontiac showed...

So we had a better football team this year, does that mean that Harvard has to make up for it by accusing Yale Men of excessive cheating? The CRIMSON said, (at Yale) "there is certainly a lot more talk about it(cheating)." This, anyway, is a step in the right direction for Yale. From your implication it follows that...
