...change the time of a vacation because it interfered with the religious observances of any particular sect would be contrary to its policy. Even if five sixths of the men in college were Episcopalians, and were dissatisfied with the present time of the vacation, they would have no right, as Episcopalians, to demand a change.

We hope that the present fee will not be continued another year, nor serve as a precedent in the future for exacting a fee for instruction in any other department...
