There are two ways of looking at the recent Med. Fac. incident. We may consider it as a mere prank and totally different from real house-breaking and theft. If so, we should give the incident no further attention. Or we may consider it as something totally unworthy of a member of our community, as an affront to some of the best phases of the life of that community, and as an insult to the memory of one of our truest graduates. If so, we should uproot the evil, showing no mercy...
...compromises the dignity and authority of the University. The Herald praises the good sense of the undergraduates who favor the most drastic treatment of the case. Smarting itself with recent stripes it howls for the punishment of others. It doubts that the terms of the agreement with the Med.

In consideration of a promise to relieve them of these penalties the undergraduate members of the Med. Fac. have contracted to bring the existence of the society to a close." No description of the proposed agreement could be further from the truth than this last sentence; but it represents a popular misconception that accounts for most of the criticism that has been aroused. It is true...
