The Tribun-III

THE PRESS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Chicago Tribune, in an editorial titled "Harvard Goes Collegiate," seems somewhat astounded and none the less pleased by reports that the names of two hundred Crimson students are on the Boston police blotter for participation in the wrecking of two coaches on an elevated train, the occasion being a hockey game vctory.

During his stay here President Harry Woodburn Chase of the University of North Carolina remarked that outside of the fact that the hatless fad was not in vogue here (and that probably on account of the difference in climate) the students here resembled very closely those attending the North Carolina institution. The educator whom even H. L. Mencken likes was also ready to generalize to the extent of stating that all American college students had a marked degree of universality in interests and actions.

The Chicago Tribune seems to believe that a momentous hockey victory was necessary to drive our erudite co-students at Harvard from their intellectual shell to such actions. From what we have always heard and observed about Harvard students it seems that hockey victory was just a nice excuse for the big, bad Cambridge boys to go out and do naughty things so that they will some day be able to tell their grandchildren what they did when they were in college. --Daily Illini.
