We regret that the Yale News has condescended to permit such language as the following to appear in its editorial columns. The flagrant misrepresentation contained in its statements it is useless to comment upon : "After Harvard had adorned the rear ranks for several years in the contest for base-ball championship, there was a boom started at that college this year that the Harvard Nine withdraw from the contest, inasmuch, as they then said, Harvard was known to be an institution 'devoted to learning only and not to athletics.' A university meeting was held for the university to take some action, but just then the worthy president evolved his little scheme by which as much college work should be required of his athletes as always has been of Yale's, and by which, at the same time, Yale should be pushed down correspondingly low by depriving her of all that could put her on a par with Harvard. Immediately the cry of withdrawing from the league was hushed and has not been heard of since."
