EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: The editorial from the New York Daily Tribune of May 31 is a fair specimen of the way in which some papers go to work to prevent "a beautiful sport from being ruined." The writer of the article was either utterly ignorant of the facts of the game or else maliciously misstated them. The game was a gentlemanly one throughout and no "slugging" whatever occurred.

The opposite side of the roof bore the motto - "College Cooler; Usual Term. 15 Minutes...
...appeal has been sent out by the editors of the Lampoon to the members of the freshman class, urging all who are artistically inclined to send in a specimen drawing. This appeal should be promptly responded to, as it is an opportunity which may never present itself again, since seven out of the nine present editors of the art department will leave college this year. Furthermore, the freshman class is always looked upon to fill the vacancies made by the retiring editors of the different college papers. '89 has by no means come up to the mark in this respect...
