AND A NEW YALE

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Yale, the happy beneficiary of Harvard's fumbles, is at last to be reduced to a properly humble position by the omniscient self-assurance of Richard' F. Grant, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Flushed with the victory of the businessman's party, he is ready to purge the nation of its fuming humors. "We've had a lot of long-haired demagogues raging up and down the land with imaginary short cuts to bliss. We even find these radicals creeping into our colleges. I know some of them in Yale, and as far as I'm concerned, I'm going to start taking the birdseed out of them."

It has long been suspected that Yale is a breeding place of error and corruption, but it is flattering to find that no less an intellectual than the archpriest of commerce shares the view. At decent intervals the descendants of John Harvard have striven to convince the stubborn Elis of their inherent sinfulness, but the well-known disrespect of the undergraduate has been an insuperable obstacle to conversion. When confronted with the doughty, or doughy, legions of Mr. Grant, the Bulldog cannot but turn tail with a weak "Bow Wow."
