DEFENDS CLUBS AT HARVARD.

The Lampoon, the Harvard under graduates humorous publication. has thrown down the gantlet to Owen Johnson, the author. who has written ill of Harvard and its institutions, says a Cambridge. Mass, dispatch to the New York World The editorial reads in part:
 Because a man has written a best seller about Yale exposing the push button and successfully pushing his hero into Skin and Bones. it does not necessarily follow that he can write about the social usurpation (whatever that means) of Harvard.
 "A man who happens to be in Cam bridge about thirty-five minutes, while waiting for q car, is hardly fitted to write a criticism of Harvard, Rad cliffe, the Washington elm or anything else on the horizon.
 "Wha- little man does here at liar ward is not for the sake of social ad- vancement or to make a club so that he can wear striped tie and talk to his admiring relations about it He does if for Harvard. To be sure there are bitter feelings and heartburnlngs and jea!ousies. Many men do not get the recognition they deserve and many do not deserve the recognition they get, but they who stand the test are the filter for what may follow.
