...express a prevalent opinion with regard to the CRIMSON'S attitude toward the proposed "Harvard Daily." The instinct of self-defense must, of course, have prompted the CRIMSON to reply to the severe but true attack of the Harvard Magazine, but neither instinct nor reason can excuse the weakness and evasiveness of that reply. Literary pouting and stamping of the feet not only are no defense, but argue for the truth of the opposide view. The fact that the CRIMSON enjoys a monopoly as a college newspaper is no defense of its editorial policy--as weak and spineless a policy...
...Lampoonites were pitifully weak, both in the field and at bat. The majority of them looked overtrained. On the other hand the "CRIMSON" team played stellar ball. It is rumored that John J. McGraw was in the bleachers and that he asked waivers on Zimmerman and Cutshaw in favor of a couple of the "CRIMSON" sluggers...

Mr. Holbrook is probably too sanguine; no education has yet been discovered which will render weak human nature proof against the possession of power. It is, moreover, impossible to "leave out of consideration the question of the enlisted men." But the discussion of this and kindred topics is indispensable; and it is be hoped that college men will give their best thought to them...

The life of the late Carleton Parker offers a classic example of the way an adequate salary will increase the productivity of a teacher. Second, the wretchedly weak administration of Boards of Education render good pedagogy almost impossible. However this concerns primarily the public school system and does not touch Harvard...
...that it was contributed in all seriousness from the Transcript office. Excellent, too, is the life of General Edwards which may, one would hope, suppress the possible appearance of the half-dozen volumes of biography which seem destined to appear in defiance of sweet reasonableness. The Book Page is weak; but the Churchman Afield, particularly its notes, would not be despised by Mr. Leacock. The account of the War is in the Transcript's best manner, though it probably shows rather more historical knowledge than the Transcript is wont to display...
