A secret suspicion occurs to us--can it be--softly, while we whisper--perhaps it is only Harvard's pride in its "indifference" that is offended! It may be that they are resenting this assumption that they are like any other students, that their welfare must be looked after by benevolent despots, and that there is a chance that a number of men a few years older may know...
