And these have invariably found the Bursar to be a very different person from what they had imagined, and discovered that the man who was spending five millions a year for the University was not without consideration for their smaller problems. So courteous was the treatment they received, that all wrath against the college administration was completely effaced. In parting with Mr. Mason, therefore, we are losing not only an able officer but also one who was to us at once an omnipotent dictator and a sympathizer in our troubles...

The quickest and best way to answer your question is to say simply that I neither think it does nor do I think that there is any such general belief. I know nothing of the alleged "hostility" to Harvard either in the west or elsewhere to which the editorial from the CRIMSON, which you so kindly enclose, refers, and I am disinclined...
