Our attention has been called to certain editorials in a sheet "published by the students of Phillips Academy, Andover." The paper was not sent to us for some reason, although it is on our regular exchange list, and so we have not had an opportunity to remark upon certain statements which it contains. It is difficult to reply to conceited schoolboys smarting under the sting of a seyere defeat, and we should never think of noticing them at all, did not such an attack as has been made call for the severest censure. The Andover base-ball nine is famous for never being suited with any umpire except their own, nor ever being able to yield like gentlemen to defeat. Everyone expects this action on their part, but when they must needs go so far as to make a public attack on the umpire, they are going a little too far. We do not stoop to deny the slanders, prompted by defeat, which their mouth-piece, the Philippians has made. But there must be somewhere in the school a streak of ordinary good-breeding in the midst of the vulgarity that is so prominent, and we would ask the decent element in the school to make an apology, as public as the insult, in order that they may partially redeem the good name of their school. Hereafter, we would recommend that no Harvard team play with the students of Phillips Academy, Andover.
