EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- I was not a little surprised that you should countenance such childish vituperation as appeared in the editorial column of your issue of December 12th. If it were not for the importance gained by its appearance in your columns, I would not answer such an ungentlemanly tirade. If the writer of that article had read the letters which so disturb his spirit he would have seen that the parts which caused "Exeter to be up in arms" were simply in reply to the unjust criticism which appeared in the Exonian, and were purely personal. Being of a personal nature, they could not, without false interpretation, be the cause of any ill-feeling between Harvard and Exeter.

"Pelliparius" does not pretend "to represent Harvard thought": he simply writes of his experiences at Harvard and of such Harvard customs and institutions as will, in his estimation, interest his friends at Andover. It is difficult to find either lunacy or vicious mindedness in such a course; and further, I cannot see what difference it would make in anyone's belief whether he used his true name or an assumed one. A FRIEND OF "PELLIPARIUS."
