We publish in our communication column a letter from a gentleman who objects to receiving postal cards informing him that, "so and so '8 -, will run over the course in French XVII, and will comment on each play read; price, $1.00." We see no reason why this should affect the gentleman's delicate sensibilities any more than an advertisement in the CRIMSON to that effect, or a poster on the bulletin boards, or a folder in his morning paper. There can be no discrimination as to what goes through the mail; if there were, who would not exercise his rights to have all advertisements and unpaid bills, and Brine blotters and poco cards excluded from his room? We believe that a sober, second thought will convince the gentleman that if tutors have the right to exist, and if they have a right to use the United States mail, or the columns of a daily paper, it matters little how they advertise themselves; and no reasoning man will deny that they have a legal and moral right to do this, and to advertise their trade in any way they see fit; - the taste of their modus operandi, must necessarily be left to them.
