Taken as a whole the action of some of the students last term were worse than any we have had here for years. Though they are heartily condemned by a majority of the college, they cannot help doing great harm to the good name of Princeton...

We trust that this power will be used with discretion, and that all the propositions made by Yale will be considered as offered in a fair and gentlemanly spirit, until some strong reason appears for thinking otherwise.

The action of Professor Hill, in giving lectures on English Literature to the Sophomores, is certainly to be commended; but aside from this the instruction in Rhetoric is so notoriously inefficient as to be the laughing-stock of the entire College. It has been frequently suggested that Rhetoric ought to be made...
