...right, however, the hall, by the terms of the circular will not be run on this scheme, so if it is as "perfectly sure" as it says it is, it need not have spent time protesting. Its only given reason, however, is fallacious. It is no argument to cite the fact that two months before the close of college the Foxcroft has no waiting list. As well say we need no more dormitories because rooms cannot be let at this time. At the begining of the year the Foxcroft had a large waiting list. It was gradually reduced...

...done much for the Sioux in recent years. It is often asked, however, if education really subdues the inherent fierceness of the Sioux blood-if these Indians do not often relapse into vicious modes of life after leaving the mission school? Not often, but sometimes. Can not any one cite examples of college friends who have had every advantage of education and surroundings, and yet have gone to the bad?

...correct a slight misunderstanding of my communication of Friday. Your correspondent of Saturday, while eminently fair in his comments; seems to think that I base my objections to the Thames course as a course for three boats. Upon Yale's experience of last year I intended merely to cite this as an example of what at any time might be repeated. The ground for my belief in the unsuitability of the Thames course for three boats, is the statement to that effect that I heard last year from many skilled oarsmen.
