NOT ALWAYS FAYERWEATHER

The CRIMSON congratulates the Yale News upon attaining its architectural majority, upon leaving a basement in Fayerweather for four walls of its own.

A pardonable feeling of afflatus attends such moments, an afflatus which the CRIMSON voiced one November day in 1915 when it moved into its present quarters on Plympton Street to become thereby the first college paper in the country to hold a building of its own. Indeed, on these occasions Virgilian metaphores spring full-armed from the typewriter keys. The Yale News can be forgiven for seeing itself as a phoenix rising from the Fayer-weather ashes. As for the CRIMSON, it has never felt inclined to personify itself as a bird, what with the horrible example of the Ibis at hand.

Happy is the Yale News, with no such unwanted stork forever imminent.
