...have authority. If you wish to go to the trustees-it is the highest authority-that court is open to you. The public, as I happen to know, thinks the college to be in a poor way, and the faculty and students both to be bad. Something is essentially wrong. For myself, I say I have never been guilty of supporting a system of espionage. I say our business is to keep order. I said to the tutors, If you see a man going wrong, go to him and tell him so.

It is but a few weeks since a like pronunciamento was put forth by another and older instructor in the same department.

These give the degree of bachelor of arts to men and women, many of whom have received less of a liberal education than our preparatory schools offer. This is wholly wrong, as this title or degree is apparently of equal value with those given to graduates of the best colleges. It only needs a little investigation to find out how much these are worth; but one has not always the time to take this trouble and must take it for granted that...
