We sincerely wish there might be some method of impressing the conviction upon the minds of the students at Yale that Harvard desires no quarrel with Yale, that her wishes are entirely peaceful, and that above all the general sentiment of this college strongly deprecates the useless and harmful bickering which unfortunately Yale, so far as it may be represented by the pugnacious News, seems inclined to resort to. Harvard simply believes that Yale played an unfair game in the late foot-ball contest, and one contrary to the spirit of the rules, and she will, we hope, insist that the rules shall be amended or such precautions taken as will in future prevent any recurrence of such a disgraceful exhibition as was witnessed on the twenty-fifth of last month. That Yale has the misfortune of being partially represented by a paper so vengeful and vindictive as the News is very unfortunate; that the News itself seems either unable or unwilling to speak temperately and fairly, we sincerely regret. Nevertheless it will, we hope, be Harvard's effort and pride to act towards Yale in all things with moderation and with courtesy. That she does not receive like treatment in return cannot change her determination.
