...should be a matter of entire indifference to the College whether a man with means or without attain a higher rank; its function is simply to bring out of students what is mentally valuable; beyond that it should have no concern. But, unfortunately, our College governors seem to take it for granted that, because a man is independent of their assistance, his brains are inconsiderable; it is quite enough to let him pass quickly by, - run down hill, if he choose (and this, it is thought, in all probability he will do); his efforts towards firmness of purpose and self...

In the same paragraph was given the reputed criticism of members of the Faculty upon an article published in the last Advocate; from our knowledge of the person who furnished this batch of misrepresentations to the Advertiser, we are strongly...
