THE announcement that Princeton has finally decided to play a series of two games with Harvard, and a third if necessary, will cause no little surprise in view of the events which have taken pace recently. When Princeton refused to arrange games except on an undergraduate basis, contests for this year seemed to be shut off irrevocably. Our future relations. even, seemed to be threatened. However, before taking any radical step Harvard wrote to Princeton to see if her decision was final. A few letters followed and the result of the correspondence is that Princeton has receded from the stand she first took. Far be it from us to exult in the position she now finds herself. What the causes were we do not pretend to say, but it is certain that Princeton was placed in an embarrassing position when she found herself called upon to make a final decision. The best course was clearly the hardest and most humiliating to pursue. And yet it is much to the credit of Princeton men that they were manly enough to admit the hastiness of their action and remedy it when an opportunity was given them.
