Those periodicals which are particularly objects of attraction to the vandals might be kept at the desk and loaned to readers only on their signed applications. Even a system of espionage is justified; and the worst offenders, if caught, should be mercilessly discharged from the University. They will never do it honor. The CRIMSON will be glad to open its columns to the publication of names of such men, that all may know,--let us not mince matters,--who the thieves...
...partner in Gale, is the mainstay of the defense. Holden, the goal tender, has been on probation until recently.

For America to resort to such European methods is to confess openly, as Lord Roseberry sees, that American aims and standards are as bankrupt as those of Europe. We young men deem this admission to be a betrayal of the worst type, and it is such a confession of failure, alike of American ideals and Christian methods, that President Fitch's letter so plainly portrays. When will these leaders of men in religion and culture turn their scrutiny and brilliant thoughts to the real meaning of "national honor, human justice, universal...
