...these suggestive points of interest was offered by the complaint of the family of Johns Hopkins that the great university endowed by their relative is not doing the work which he intended - of educating the masses of poor young men.

If the faculty were influenced largely by the belief that the fence would be objectionable to the majority of the students, the opinions thus far expressed must tend to shake their confidence in the soundness of the conclusion reached by them. We have yet to hear of any expression of opinion from the college which is favorable...
