EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.-Of course it would be absurd to find fault with students for rejoicing in the gratifying success of our nine. That the brass band and many students went to meet the nine on their arrival in Boston is commendable. If the whole college had turned out en masse to welcome their return to Cambridge and had spent an hour in the wildest expression of joy, such action would not have exceeded the demands of college patriotism. For whatever of this took place I have nothing but approval. But I consider it outrageous that through the whole evening and far into the night such an infernal noise should be kept up that no man who had studying to do could attend to his work. From 8.30 until 11 the disturbance was in no sense a general demonstration by the college; twenty-five men could be named who made ninety-nine per cent, of the noise. That three or four possessors of fish horns and boyish lovers of noise in general, and cannon crackers in particular, should be allowed to turn Harvard square into pandemonium, is a disgrace to the Cambridge police. It is the duty of the CRIMSON as the representative of the best college sentiment, to sit down on those young gentlemen who seize every opportunity to make nuisances of themselves.
