Saturday's Transcript contains a sharp editorial criticism on the recent letter in the Nation on religious discipline at Harvard. In concluding it proposes an astonishing solution of the question, viz : "A leading churchman of this city favors the division of Harvard University into separate colleges, each religious denomination to have control of its own. He believes that this will some time take place...
...into general notice. It says: "Every one who saw the game knows how little ground there is for their reiterated charges of roughness, ungentlemanliness, to say nothing of stronger expressions which they have found convenient to use."

It will be seen that but three of this year's players have been retained by the Metropolitan Company for their league championship team...
