We have often spoken of the untrustworthy accounts of college matters which come out in these papers, and have urged that more care be taken in the future; but mere remonstrance has no effect. Some of these reporters are not content with merely writing what is in execrable taste; newspaper exaggeration does not satisfy them; they not only send in vague rumors upon hearsay authority, and "write up" matters of which they know nothing; but in order to make something spicy for sensational journals they resort...

Whether the petition be granted or not, we cannot see how it can possibly fail to have a marked effect. Drawn up by a body of undergraduates composed of "representative men" in the college world; signed by an overwhelming majority of our students; supported by a petition from the leading literary society of the college, and by another from those graduates now studying in the Law School; endorsed by many...
