THE DINNER TONIGHT.

As another manifestation of the pride every Harvard man feels in the vanquishers of Yale, a dinner is being tendered the eleven at the Copley-Plaza this evening. Though the affair is primarily for graduates, there is no rule excluding men from the undergraduate world, and many will undoubtedly take advantage of this last public opportunity to honor athletes who thoroughly deserve all praise. Now, there are a number of ways of doing honor to our team, and one of the most objectionable ones is, so to speak, eating to them. The selfish way of loking at this dinner is not the spirit in which the football team went into its great game this fall, and we believe that it will appreciate least an over-exuberant reception. Healthy pride leads to healthy praise, which should never be made insincere by violent lapses into epicurean orgies. The spirit of the evening should be the spirit of Dean Briggs' toasts, and praise be to him who rises to them with a full heart instead of an over-full stomach.
