...last number of the New York Churchman appeared an article on "The Harvard Experiment," as the writer conscientiously calls it, by Prof. Peck of Columbia College. We trust that a paper of such standing as the Churchman does not sanction the contents of this article. We are surprised that a man of the position that Mr. Peck occupies, should be willing to expose his narrow-mindedness.

Heretofore dishonesty has, by the sanction of the faculty's rule, held much the same position as playing ball in the yard. It is a thing not wrong in itself; but merely improper in college. Striking out any rule about the matter puts the crime on the same ground as stealing books from the library. Stealing is everywhere an offence, and needs no rule to make it so. Men do not need to be told about that which by everyone everywhere is or should...
