We have endeavored to put this matter before our readers, touching upon the arguments pro and con, in a way to gain it a fair hearing, and place the action of the Overseers in its proper light. These gentlemen are at all times ready to receive communications from the students. The interests of both are in reality identical, and we are confident that a full understanding is all that is needed to make this evident...
