There is something we would like to say, which may be apropos of the recent discussions about sensational reporting, in regard to some little differences which have occurred within the university. and to the talking over of college matters in general. However much they may feel it, Harvard men generally do not display outwardly as much loyalty to their university as they might. We should be like the old noble families. They would discuss and damn the faults and disagreeable occurrences en famille, but out in the world every member would fight to the death for the honor of the family name. Noblesse oblige. Of course we have wrongs which must be righted, and grievances to complain of. We call the athletic directors hard names because they interfere with our hearts, and the same to college fathers because they interfere with our souls. But every man among us knows that Harvard is the only college in the world. Of course he does. And to protect her name, let us keep the grievances entirely inside the family.
