The Crimson Vindicated.

The Harvard University daily, the CRIMSON, in its issue of yesterday fairly flames with literary enthusiasm. Under the head of special notices announcement is made that game bull terrier puppies, three months old, are for sale. Also a stylish dog-cart, with English harness. Two of the editorials are on base-ball, and the third on tennis. The news items are mostly on sports. The calendar occupies the same space as a notice to seniors to pay their subscription for the class crew.

It ought to be said, however, that every once in a while there is a reference to the scholar's working tools, such as a billiard parlor advertisement, and also one of acid phosphate.

Learning is always moving on ward and upward in Cambridge.

[Boston Post, May 12th.]The little Record is in a sad state of mind because it finds that the DAILY CRIMSON, a small sheet published at Harvard University, is mainly devoted to news about sports. Why should it not be? The CRIMSON is not conducted by the faculty in the interest of classics and sciences, and it aims at nothing higher than supplying items which relate to those outside interests and recreations which healthy young men everywhere ought to take part in during their leisure hours. To expect the CRIMSON to occupy the literary field of the "Advocate" and the "Harvard Monthly" is what no one who knows anything at all about college life would venture upon.

[Although it is not true to the letter that we aim "at nothing higher" than giving athletic news, we submit these clippings to the judgement of our readers. - EDS,]
