Just complaint has been made by the defenders of Harvard methods that the attacks upon her system are based in many instances, and especially in the college press, upon a misrepresentation or misunderstanding of the real state of things. It is to correct these mistakes that the present movement has been started. A meeting of all the men interested in this work has been called for Saturday.
