We wish to state frankly that we felt some hesitancy in admitting these revolutionary words to our journal. We felt that our reputation was at stake, for did we not barely a month since, denounce vigorously the disgraceful fray in which the two classes forming the substrata of the college participated?

For the honor of the college would be at stake to choose a representative who would not jeopardize its reputation. Again, compare the alumnus with the professional umpire. Is it reasonable to suppose that there is less honesty and impartiality in a leading college man who is thoroughly known and has borne an honorable name in the college world, than...
