The new leaf that we turned over bears a strong resemblance to the old; but we have effected some reduction in wasteful expenses and have at least opened some important questions; the discussion of which may result in more or less radical improvements. Representatives of Yale, Princeton, and Harvard agreed before the year was over to the publication of the announcement...
