...desire to play us; and yet it does not seem to us that her propositions were as liberal as they might have been. We hope that upon more mature consideration, the spirit which has previously characterized Yale and won her the respect of all, will exert a stronger influence and eventually demand that the right be done. We believe that this is what will happen, and that the much vexed question will come to a satisfactory conclusion...
