...failure of the United States in not having a true university or the true university spirit, which is seen in England and Germany, has become a topic which is of the greatest concern to all those who are interested in educational matters.

Coming as it did, however, soon after the hazing affairs at Princeton, and the rough and tumble rush at Yale, it cannot fail to draw down upon the college a great mass of unkind criticism. The city press is only too glad to magnify the most trivial college scrapes until they assume the dignified proportions of a riot, as many...
