...There is no doubt that the man who sent you the information you published in your issue of Oct. 20 on Page 9 under the heading FRANCE-NO HISSING was not at the Buffalo Velodrome. There were no shots and no trouble whatsoever. On the contrary, French and German sportsmen shook hands; and on the previous Sunday, another match having taken place, the Germans received flowers after their victory. It seems ugly for an American paper or magazine to try to make things worse between the two countries. I am a French girl who worked for the American Red Cross...

...hence, I think, I am very advantageously placed for replying to the preposterous emission in your Friday issue. Oddly enough your correspondent seems to have hit upon the answer to his own conundrum, without, of course, being able to recognize it when he saw it. If Catholics are sportsmen enough to become members or captains of the athletic teams, and gentlemen enough to be made class-day marshals, they are certain of a warm standing-welcome from all their (normal) fellow undergraduates. While as far as the faculty are concerned (being mostly reasonable men) all they are likey to demand...
