...that justice was done his memory. On another point Mr. Pellew does not make so strong a case. His attempt to show that the first declaration by the Supreme Court of the unconstitutionality of an act of Congress came in Jay's justiceship is weak; for the court's protest in 1790 was a radically different matter from a constitutional decision.

After careful correction by individual students, by the college papers, by President Eliot's annual report, and especially by Professor Palmer's thorough investigation and summary, it would seem as though the false accounts of the cost of living here ought to have been refuted forever. Notwithstanding this, the New York World, in its issue of April 6, published a long letter proclaiming that Harvard "Is a college for rich men's sons only," and misrepresenting the facts of college life from...
