"The nine's reception by the crowd at Princeton is inexplicable. That Princeton, Harvard's old ally, should descend to the tactics which are held in such general contempt, is beyond our power of explanation." - Crimson.

How long is this complaining nursery chatter to continue? The wholesale undignified censure which the Harvard press has of late visited upon Yale and the "old ally" is a matter of regret and difficult to account for. Is it to be wondered at that the professional press greedily fills its columns with sensational and distorted accounts of events and perchance indiscretions which occur in college life, when a college press allows itself to make representations and insinuations which, if appearing anywhere else, would be branded as false and utterly baseless. If the Harvard press must abrogate to itself the powers and regalia of censor we trust it will gird up its robes of office instead of allowing them to trail in the mire. We cannot refrain from expressing our deep sorrow that the "old ally" should so far have forgotten its role of "ally" as to give its more powerful "ally" occasion to lament the apparent desertion of the "old ally." We have discovered, however, in our limited experience, that community, and antagonism of interests are diametrically opposed, and that while the former may have a tendency to keep an "ally" faithful, rivalry is sure to be the result of the latter. There is no good cause for alarm, however, for we are confident that at the proper time the "old ally" will return to its allegiance. - Yale Courant.
