...faculty and the seniors,-are more or less in the wrong. But it is always inadvisable for outsides to attempt to pass any pronounced judgments on such matters, as the means of correct information are always limited. Every college student knows how much his actions are miss-represented and misunderstood by the outside world and, we presume, college faculties experience the same difficulties. Leaving aside the original merits of the Hamilton College case, it would seem to outsiders as if the disagreement had reached a point that is very unfortunate for both parties and Which might easily have been avoided...
EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-The logic of Prof. Norton's letter has been, I think, unnecessarily condemned and the action of the committee, in some measure, misunderstood.

It is my purpose to ask him for a copy of his lecture, if published, as I hope...
...announcement, just out, of the second part of the "Philosophical Series" by Pres. McCosh will interest students of Philosophy. The notice reads as follows:-No. V.-"Locke, with a notice of Berkeley." It is shown that Locke held by a body of truth, and that he has often been misunderstood; but that he has not by his experience theory iaid a sure foundation of knowledge. No. VI.-"David Hume as expounded by Huxley." It is unnecessary to examine Hume's skepticism, but it is best to do so in the defense of it by Huxley. No. VII.-"A Criticism...
