EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON :-Dear Sirs : Having read to-day your article of the 28th, in which you cite Canon Farrar's views in regard to the (socalled) English system of classical education, I trust that, with your usual courtesy and fairness and desire to furnish your readers correct information on the subjects discussed in your paper, you will permit me to offer a few brief remarks, that may tend to modify largely the conclusions that might be drawn from the extract you have given...
...attention of everyone who was seated the need of some definite action in the future to keep people from lining up in front of the seats. Attention has already been called to the nuisance, though unavailingly, and it is now of course too late to do anything to correct it this year. However, it is a most fitting time to suggest that some regulations against it ought to be made before the next season.

...education at Princeton, the Princetonian says: "In the catalogue, this year, the minimum average and maximum expenditure of the students will be stated as $290, $400, and $700 respectively; and every one who has been a member of this institution knows, from personal observation, that these figures are approximately correct. In the estimate just quoted, tuition is included, but since nearly one-half of the students are excused from paying it, more properly it should be deducted. Thus making the minimum $225, and the average $325. It is difficult to see what arrangement could be more reasonable or satisfactory than...
