Your tennis reports on the French-American matches in New York and Cannes, in your issue of March 1, are not worthy of your publication. They smack distinctly of the very "yellow-journalism" of which you accuse Hearst and the "gum-chewers' sheetlets."

...wonder what Mr. Upton Sinclair who so scathingly attacks American colleges and universities on the charge that they are controlled by ultra-conservative financiers who want only "accepted", doctrines taught and who smack not at all of the liberalism and broad-mindedness needed by leaders of our education,--we wonder what Mr. Upton Sinclair will do when he hears that Mr. Howard Eliott '81 has been chosen as the new president of the Board of Overseers at Harvard? No doubt he will clap his hands and shout from the house-tops: "I told you it was so! Here...
