...wish to express our regret at the appearance of an advertisement, at the head of yesterday's "Fact and Rumor" column, which was contrary to the sentiment of the editorial denouncing the continuation of the orgies of "Bloody Monday."

In the progress of time, there has been much improvement, and the general sentiment of college has become much manlier and more sensible. The growth of athletics has assisted considerably in producing this change for the better. There is no more conservative body than the undergraduates of a college. They are slaves to tradition, and think that because a thing has existed for some...
