The news, known before to a few but now made public at New Haven, that there is a movement, which promises to be successful, to bring about an athletic reunion between Harvard and Yale will give the most genuine pleasure to Harvard graduates and undergraduates alike.

It has been the almost universal hope and the general belief in Cambridge that the two universities would not allow a trivial matter to keep their athletic teams apart long. The good, which some believed a cession of athletics would accomplish, has been done, if it will be done at all, and it is time for a new and healthier rivalry to begin. It is to be hoped that those who have in charge the proposals for the renewal of athletics will not let any trivial technical points of pride or diplomacy keep the two universities apart.

Harvard heartily returns the sincere feelings of friendship which Yale, through the Yale News of Saturday, expresses for Harvard.
