One of our recent exchanges, in a somewhat extended notice of the Harvard publications, has taken occasion to sneer at one of our papers, and show by invidious comparisons that our publications are not what they profess to be. While we do not desire to question the taste of the writer of such a criticism, we still feel that the courtesy of the press ought to have influenced the expression. The kindly feeling which has long existed between the various college papers, cannot easily be destroyed by criticisms of such a nature, but more pleasant relations will result in the future if a more generous spirit is shown. It is true that differences of opinion must always exist as to the relative merits of our different papers, but if we are called upon to express those opinions, let us remember that the manner of our expression will often betray the spirit in which we write as clearly as any words we may use.
