Tiger Rags

Deplorable as it may sound, the decade of the 1950's will very likely be known as an era of emasculation in college publications. Although the symptoms of decadence at Harvard appear only in the Lampoon, the creeping cancer of incompetence threatens to enervate completely our blase brothers in Princeton and New Haven.

The lack of undergraduate vigor at Yale became only too clear last year in the Daily's weak-kneed failure to publish on Saturdays. Anyone might have expected this moral irresolution at Yale, but we view with astonishment the present inadequacies of those impeccable gentlemen from New Jersey. The Daily Princetonian has been parodied at least three times in the last three years, and the Tiger has not retaliated. Even when Princeton's proud flag disappeared, our kittenish friends did nothing to redeem this disgrace.

We deeply regret this state of things. For without competition the game goes stale, and the ingenuity of youth lies dormant. This will inevitably lead to the decay of capitalism, individualism, religion, and even the very future of Western Civilization. Accordingly, we welcome any parody, or for that matter, any other sign of life from Princeton. If the Princetonians will show us some spirit, we will show them their flag.
