Mr. George Frederick Gundelfinger has at last advanced upon Harvard and the "vaunt-couriers" of his prolific pen have arrived in the shape of that now famous pamphlet, "Why the Bulldog is Losing His Grip." From a hasty glance at his opening fire-works, it appears that "Gundelfingery" has forced its way to the fore against tremendous odds. With a complete spy system among New York publishers, an underground railway of insidious rumors at the college, and a stiff resistance among the college papers, Yale managed to keep his great book, "The New Fraternity", still in manuscript; in manuscript until the heroic author "deluged both the Yale faculty and the undergraduates" with cards. Apparently this injection had its desired effect for by showing Yale that its Bowl was a place where "mothers and fathers, sisters, classmates, alumni will cheer and shout and scream to drown the misery of their aching, mangled, bleeding sons and brothers", Mr. Gundelfinger has made Yale lose its grip--except, of course, for victories over Princeton and Harvard this year.
Patently Harvard is in for a deluge. But what looks like a curse may yet prove a blessing. Even though the undergraduate body be forced to take to an ark, if the potion is as effective here as it has proved to be at Yale, football hopes for next year may soar higher than ever. And Mr. Gundelfinger is to be thanked on still another score. Every student who can persuade himself to read the pamphlet through may, by studying this excellent pathological case, become an embryo psychologist.
