Every year a cry arises about "infidelity at Harvard." and goes flying all over the land to arouse discussion and alarm. Every year it becomes necessary for the Harvard papers to denounce any such thing through their editorial columns. In accordance with this good old custom we again take our stand and diny that Harvard is any worse than the rest of the world in religious matters. Just how this rumor begins it is hard to conceive.
