Whatever may have been done by Harvard men, either then or since then, it is only just that the editors of respectable Boston papers should examine both sides of the question before censuring college men in language that would ruin the reputation of a Donnybrook fair...

Can it be more valuable to a man to be able to solve an oblique triangle than to understand the questions of financial policy which are agitating the whole country?
