We have considered it unnecessary to make any comment on various articles that have appeared in the Yale papers from time to time since the freshman game, attributing all the noise and uproar in New Haven on the evening of the day on which the game took place to our freshmen. The last issue of the Courant, however, contained an editorial excusing them somewhat. This editorial is as follows : "We think the Lit's strictures in regard to the conduct of the Harvard freshmen, two weeks ago, a trifle uncalled for. If any, our own freshmen should be held responsible for what seemed, perhaps, cheeky on the part of our Harvard friends. It may have been poor taste on the part of the latter to act as they did. It certainly was; yet who but our own freshmen urged on the visitors to the perpetration of acts they dared not do themselves?" The fact of the matter is, we learn from good authority, that there were but two of our freshmen on the Yale campus when the bonfire was started and the "uproar" took place. Still the Yale papers would have us believe that these two were sufficient to throw the whole city of New Haven into confusion.
