ACAnp.-wc are happy to state that the diff
cultics at Georgetown College have been amicsbly
adjusted, and that VIC have all az ain returned 20
the quiet prosecution Of our usual studies. We
greatly regret that the late occurrence has given
rise 10 90 many false and sanderous reports Among
those circulated in the papers Of the day. and which
seem especially 10 claim a denial, are, that the
students held a meeting dcnouncng the tyranniz-
ing and demoralixing practices OF their first pre-
feet, and complaining Of the improper quality Of
their food; another, saying g that three students
had been confined on account Of their religious
principlcs." Tbcsc statements we pronounce 70 be
absolutely false. We pity those who have origi-
mated such foolish reports, and willing 10 at
tribute them rather 70 their ignorance than 10 any
malicious desire OF injuring those whose characters
are above all the vanton attacks Of their enemies
We unanimously bear witness 10 the kind manner
in which we were treated by the faculty Of the col
legc, and also unite in returning them sincere
thanks for the prompt excrtions which they made
70 arrange the late dibculy TO the complete sstis-
faction Of both parties.
We, therefore, hope that all further imput stion
against the characters Of the professors Of his ven
cradle institution ma Immediately cease and that
the high rcputc in which they have ever been held
~ teachers and az ministers Of religion may stim-
ulste honest public 10 diecountensnce those who
may hereafter cndcavor 10 trsducc them.
