...recent editorial in the CRIMSON as credited to the Yale News a remark concerning our "attacks upon the freshman eleven." We think that the remark should have been ascribed to the Courant. We are sorry for the misunderstanding but cannot but deplore the puerile spirit of the New's reply in which we are accused of coining questionable stories in order to fill space. The writer of the reply must have known that the mistake arose the habit of ascribing all that is distinctively Yaleism to the News...
...sole purpose of seeing what is truly a rarity in this country, but that which at Oxford and Cambridge is almost an annual institution, and one which is entered upon with as much zest and enthusiasm as the boat race on the Thames. We trust that the spirit which has promted the University of Pennsylvania to put the "Archarnians" on the stage, merely lies dormant here, to awake at some future date refreshed and invigorated for its long rest, and shine with greater lustre than ever before.

...university. But if no undergraduate has them, or was implicated in their removal, the theft can only be charged upon some of the many doubtful characters which the recent parade gathered together. No excuse need be offered by the city government in thus applying in so gentlemanly a spirit first to the undergraduates. We are sorry to say that when even meat signs and the better part of lamp posts are frequently found adorning students rooms, it is no stretch of the imagination to suppose for a moment that some patriotic student has claimed his country's flag...
