...Doeskin trousers are becoming popular in South", is the enigmatical sentence contained in the item column of a recent number of the Yale News. whatever this mysterious utterance may mean, we must remonstrate with our esteemed contemporary for permitting such dangerous secrets to be thus rudely brought to the garish light of day in its columns. It is such things as these that fasten the sligma of indiscretion and irresponsibility upon the college press. The News has been indiscreet; let it reform...

At that time the university, according to the testimony of Treasurer Wiliams, held property to the amount of about $2,800,000, exclusive of about 275,000 acres of Western lands. The suit, however, will be bitterly contested by the university at every point, and may be kept...
