Through the CRIMSON I wish to announce that the agreement with the undergraduate members of the so-called "Med Fac" society, the terms of which have been previously published, has been carried out. Mr. Joy, who, as directed, left Cambridge immediately after his arrest, has taken his final examinations; but of his own motion he has withdrawn from Harvard College, requesting that the Faculty shall not consider him a candidate for a degree until such time as it shall feel that he may justly be recommended for one. Yours sincerely. B. S. HURLBUT...
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...
Dean Hurlbut's agreement does neither the one nor the other. It does not take the first view, for it self-evidently shows annoyance at the incident, tries to brush the Med. Fac. away like some trouble some fly, and means to purchase immunity from attacks of the society by grace to one of its members. Nor does it take the other view. It does not go to the bottom, at shows mercy without uprooting the evil...
...matter what view we take of the Med. Fac. incident, I think we have a right to expect of Dean Hurlbut and the Faculty what they always have a right to expect of us: to take a firm, outspoken, manly stand, not to dilly-dally...
Build bridges of gold for a flying enemy. Let the old Med. Fac. go in peace: it is by no means going in triumph. We take it too hard any way, pulling such grave faces and arguing so soberly over the demise of an organization purely devoted to folly and the instigation of laughter. Sincerely yours, EDWARD S.
