...most important clauses of the bill. There are: I - The provision against personal discrimination, which he characterized as very just. The fact is that where discrimination is made between two shippers it is usually the wrong one that gets the advantage. II. - The long and short haul clause, whose justice in theory he was willing to allow. There is, however, this much to be said against it, that the business of the country has distributed itself in accordance with the old discriminating rates.

Second, in law a skillful and thorough detective system is employed to ferret out witnesses as well as detect criminals, and thus usually all whose testimony have a bearing upon the case are brought in whether willingly or not. It is needless to add that such a system in college is neither desirable nor possible. The ends for which colleges are established, namely, the training of the mind and character would be defeated by the consciousness to the students that the normal attitude of a faculty towards them was one of suspicion and distrust...
