...being their share of the day's blunders. As the record shows, the game was all one way from the first, and resulted in a Harvard victory of 25 to 4. '76 is the first Freshman Class that has beaten Yale since '71, and we heartily congratulate the Nine upon their success...
must be the criticisms admitted into a college paper; they must be neither too bold, for fear of giving offence to the Faculty, nor too mild, for fear of their not finding readers.

It is unfortunate, we think, that the testimony of leading educators differs so materially upon these practical questions. The evidence is often diametrically opposed, and can do but little more than confuse the candid student of social science. Mr. Eliot says that both male and female physicians agree in declaring that women are physically unfit for study; Mr. Raymond, of Vassar, says that four hundred healthier...
