No Headline

An article which appeared in one of last evening's papers gives cause for complaint. It is extremely offensive to have the name of Harvard connected with detailed sensational stories in which a reporter indulges to fill space or to catch the attention of scandal-lovers. If anything of an unpleasant nature happens in the University, it should be allowed to pass unnoticed by the outside public, or if noticed, should at least not be dwelt upon in exaggerated detail for the benefit of those whom it in no way concerns. That part of the reading public which demands sensation, could, it would seem, be amply supplied from other sources without encroaching on the bounds of college life. The reputation of the University is affected, however indirectly, by all reports with which its name is connected, and these have not unfrequently been of a nature to excite outside prejudice against Harvard. They should not always be silently tolerated.
