...Hepburn, President of the college, finds that the actual occurrence out of which the stories grew was exaggerated and misrepresented in the reporting. This conclusion is especially the case with regard to the alleged insulting behavior of students toward Methodist ministers. The result of the investigation we read is particularly gratifying to the many friends of the college, which ranks among the first in the South for scholarship and morality, as well as for the discipline which is maintained in it. At no time, it is stated, has the institution been in better condition and freer from vice or disorder...
...University Magazine, the representative of the University of Pennsylvania, has printed an editorial trying to sustain the action of their boat club in issuing the general challenge which recently has been so generally condemned.

...clipped. Illustrations appear, more taste displayed, papers regular and with dispatch, showing that they are edited for a purpose, to express opinions and convey news, and not simply for the sake of having a paper. General college news is gathered and topics of universal educational interests discussed. We can read in this that those different colleges have stepped beyond the line of the old regime, helping to round a man out generally, give him the best of everything to fit him for life and not stuff him with a stipulated amount in a particular time. The changed characters...
