There has been a tendency on the part of New York Newspapers--fancied or actual--in the last year to show Yale in a dulled light in a number of published articles. To the undergraduate this is a matter of immediate battle. A touch of misplaced sarcasm leads us to imagine a group of diabolical editors in solemn conclave for the purpose of misinterpreting every event on the Yale Campus. This is a silly conception and one born of pique rather than judgement. More careful perusal of the majority of articles will reveal that both sides of every question are fairly stated.

The time has gone when the newspaper man is the avowed enemy of the University. Petty anti-college prejudices have passed with the progress of American education. What was once considered smart has become cheap. The jokes on the college man are passing with those state and insufferably dull stories of the absent-minded professor. So much for the question general.

At times there does appear an article tinged with anti-Yale prejudice. They are often amusing from certain standpoints. People who laugh, however, seldom condemn. The stories that have appeared criticizing our Campus are not doing damage, because they are not convincing. Nobody takes them seriously. A joke on ourselves is to be laughed at--when it is a good joke. But when invention tires, and the articles become fiat repetitions we do yawn a little and wonder why the editors allow such obvious space-fillers to clutter up their columns.--The Yale News
