Some time ago the CRIMSON published the letters of the various committees in regard to the further employment of Col. Bancroft. At that time we were decidedly opposed to the dismissal of Col.

A private person, as long as he holds his public position, cannot divest himself of a certain degree of authority which is naturally associated with his position. This...
