Last year the all-important question in the university was the subject of the governor's degree. That question was grappled with by the overseers in a very heroic fashion, and the Gordian knot was cut, although the manner of its cutting may have displeased many. In other words the custom of conferring the degree of LL. D. upon the governor was stopped. Now in the face of the election of Mr. Robinson the question again arises.

He lives in a sort of barracks, wears a uniform, counts only as a unit in a mass who are governed in a semi-military fashion, and gets little or no separate attention from his masters.
