You say, "take measures that will compel students to testify under penalty of expulsion." But to say nothing of the inquisitorial character of such a proceeding, two very serious difficulties stand in the way which the law escapes, and which, if they existed in law, would make almost all attempts to enforce law a farce...

Although still known as a "college," the excellent schools of law, engineering, and medicine which Columbia possesses will soon compel her title to be changed to "university," a name to which it certainly has an undoubted right. Therefore in view of the gratifying progress which this rival 'university' of the future has made in the past few years, no pains ought to be spared by the able committee into whose...
