A respectful protest on the part of the students in St. Vladimir University at Kieff, resulted in the imprisonment of many students and a sentence of compulsory military service on many more. As a result of these harsh sentences, renewed disturbances have taken place at Kieff, and a general uprising of university students throughout the empire is to be apprehended. Harvard men who are at all interested in the fortunes of their student brethren elsewhere should assemble in the mass-meeting and pass resolutions denouncing such uncivilized invasion...
