...majority of those whose sentiments this letter voices, have, in the past, as undergraduates, felt the advantages of graduate assistance and support; so that we are compelled to submit this statement to the undergraduates in acknowledgment of their courtesy in asking our advice in the matter, and to relieve them of any feeling of tension in the relation of old to young Yale." - Yale News...
...encouraging evidence of the "Monthly's" literary rank that its columns have become the means of publishing an exchange of ideas by two such men as Col. T. W. Higginson and Mr. Hamerton.

The spirit of the article in question proves the utter needlessness of any serious reply beyond a simple and direct denial of the statement. It is useless to attempt to argue with those who do not care to learn facts, and who add prejudice to ignorance. When pugilism is said to be the recommendation for membership in the Harvard chapter, the writer who spreads such silly gossip stamps himself as ignorant not only of the Phi Beta...
