Last week Chinese students at Nanking got out of patience even with the rapid progress now being made by Foreign Minister Dr. C. T. Wang. They knew that he was negotiating with Japanese Consul General Shichitaro Yada; and they thought both negotiators a little too polite and slow. Suddenly student exuberance boiled over, and a mob rushed to hurl brickbats and curses at the walls which sheltered Dr. Wang and M. Yada. Loomed a diplomatic incident of gravest sort.

Such an isolated and mild occasion scarcely calls for the thunders of the press to be couched...
Harvard need not fear the besmirching of her name either by the actions of an infinitesimal minority or by external maledictions, and certainly not from this lonely testimony against her. Like the man who bites a dog, student actions, particularly careless ones, receive ridiculous publicity in comparison to the actions of other men. This latest undesirable criticism, neither unbiased nor constructive, is easily recognizable as more evidence of the readiness of Boston and Cambridge to betray their latent antagonism in a town-and-gown alignment which is marked most distinctly on occasions like the present...
