Renewed Relations

(Ed. Note--The following editorial appeared in yesterday's Daily Princetonian, Princeton undergraduate daily.)

Tomorrow afternoon, after eight years of regrettable separation, Harvard and Princeton will meet again as football opponents. Along with the undergraduate body as a whole, we choose to ignore entirely the incidents which were a factor in the breaking of relations. It is sufficient to say that they have been forgotten here, and, according to all reports from Cambridge, there as well. Harvard is doing all possible to make this weekend a memorable one, and a fitting one to celebrate the renewal of relations. The contest can be, and should be, the final link in the better chain of friendship and understanding which has been referged so rapidly in the past two years.

It is not in accordance with the facts, however, to dismiss summarily the attitude underlying the contest, and to pass over it without some comment. Unfortunately there still exists among some of the die-hard alumni of both institutions an antagonistic feeling toward the other University. This attitude may or may not be in evidence during the game, but it can be counter-acted if Princeton undergraduates act as gentlemen after the final whistle, no matter which team wins.

The renewal has cast into oblivion a foolish quarrel over superficial matters; it is up to the present undergraduate body to make sure that the present bond of good feeling is further strengthened and cemented together.
