EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: Well-timed and careful as was your editorial of Friday morning on the freshman race with Yale, you seem to do the class some little injustice. If I understand rightly the article, one may infer that the whole freshman class is opposed to any new consideration of the race, while the rest of the college is urgent for such reconsideration. Whatever may be the views of a certain portion, and a small portion, of Ninety, the class at large is certainly fair-minded enough to be willing to give another hearing to the rather persistent claims of Yale for admission. But we cannot do this without a class meeting, and in the calling of a class meeting, we are not laws unto ourselves. If those who oppose the admission of Yale are as confident as they claim to be in the force of their arguments, why should they throw every obstacle in the way of holding a class meeting? If their opponents are willing to discuss the question once more, surely the victors in the last meeting should consent. It will be worse than a defeat next June, if Ninety has any stain on its honor in boating matters. To reconsider the former decision, not a few think, is to yield not to Yale, but to justice.
