...writer of the communication published in another column, apparently does not understand the attitude which the CRIMSON has taken towards the proposed freshman debate with Yale. That we have been in large part, if not wholly, responsible for the encouragement which the debate has received, is an unexpected proposition, and one which is in no way justified by the facts. In one point, however, our correspondent is right. We might very properly have condemned the entire idea of a freshman debate as soon as it was suggested. We did not do this, and a challenge was sent to the Yale...
...inclined to agree with the writer of the communication printed in another column, in questioning the right of the so-called University polo team to its self-styled name. The fact that this team has declared itself open to challenge does not constitute it a "varsity team." It is indeed the custom in professional athletics and to some extent also in amateur athletics outside of the college world, for an athletic team to assume the championship of a certain section as long as it is unchallenged and unbeaten, but it is a well-established college precedent that no team should...
Just what will be the outcome of all the consideration of the question, it is yet too early to say. That it will not be the transfer of the collections to Harvard has, however, been feared by the writer of one article, which appeared in the last issue of the Cambridge Tribune. The article purports to be by a Harvard professor. After complaining at length, and with considerable justice, that the Fogg Museum is far from being what its donor intended it to be, he says in reference to the Gray and Randall collections, that "the trustees...
...rather an extreme view of the situation. The engravings must by the terms of the grant remain in Boston until next year: at that time, if Harvard asks for the return of what she has loaned, the "idea of the trustees" will be matter of entire indifference. The writer in the Tribune seems to fear that Harvard will make no such request because some of the trustees of the museum in Boston are also among the "Harvard authorities." Such a fear, however, is one which it is almost impossible to share...
Walter Pater was not only a writer, he was also a figure in academic life. During all his working life he was a Fellow, or a resident, at Oxford, and it is there we like best to think of him. Pater was in no way a reformer. He cared as much for the past as Matthew Arnold and Henry James did for the present. As a critic Pater dwelt most fondly upon those who were dead. In a little book of criticisms, called "Appreciations," we find him coming nearer the present. In this book he speaks of people only...
