...cause for grievance in this if it felt that the club had given what it could afford to give.

No one objects to the club having a good time during the trip and after it, but there are a great many who object to needless and selfish extravagance. There seems to be a disposition in glee...

While it is difficult in many ways to do this, it seems to me that unless it is done a great part of the interest will be taken away. Why not invite one of Yale's Faculty to come on with their representatives, to act as judge with a Harvard professor, and a third man chosen by these two? This would make a fair committee, and would...
