...tone of the college press is improving every year, and we notice a more manly spirit. It was toward this feeling of friendly and open intercourse that Mr. Cowles' speech tended the other evening, and those who heard it were more than glad to return the advance in double measure, And so we feel sure that any ill feeling between Harvard and Yale in the past is due in a great measure to the careful nourishing of the seeds of jealousy by outside influences, particularly by that of the daily public press.

Though I am not an advocate of Anglomania, I trust that the spirit of the college is too liberal to refuse to wear an appropriate dress simply because it is English. The only objection is the expense, which would not be a very large item; besides, gowns could probably be hired at reasonable rates from some enterprising tailor...
