...original report of this transaction in the New York Herald of Nov. 16, wrote to Mr. Ammerman requesting further explanation. Mr. Ammerman receipted for the letter, but has made no reply. The alleged offer would constitute so serious an offence against good morals and college discipline that we regret that Mr. Ammerman has not seen fit to be more explicit. It seems likely that Mr. Ammerman has been imposed upon. It is extremely improbable that any "Harvard man" would have had the temerity to offer him a scholarship in the Law School.

...evidence" finally refers to a private letter from Mr. Upton, explaining why he did not go to Princeton, and to Mr. Dean's trip to Europe last summer.

The Monthly shows that Harvard was influenced in her action by the desire for a "reform in athletics for reform's own sake." The precipitate action is, however, "a cause for grave regret," and has given rise to the pertinent questions which are now being asked by the public press. The Monthly believes that the withdrawal was not dictated by mere pique, and that two months hence the same action would have been taken, but regrets that "when it was possible to take this wise step...
