SPIRIrUALrsM IN HARVARD UNIVERSITY
We find in the Boston Journal Of Monday,
the following, under the head Of "CoRREc-
tion." We have been requested by the
friends Of the young gentleman who was
made the subject Of paragraph in our Sat
urday's paper, headed "erpulsion Of a Spir-
ituai Medium from Harvard Unirersity," to
request a suspension Of public judgement in
the matter until after full hearing is had
of both sides. We understand that the
student referred to is only suspended" not
"expelled," and that when the facts ore
brought out, they will put IN entirely diff
ferent facs upon the transactions from that
given in the paragraph referred to. We
know that the gcntleman's character stands
high, and that among those who know him
best no is regarded as suspicion.
Tho Evening Gazette, referring to the
above case, remarks, and We think with
much pertinence and truth:
"a few weeks since we gave an account
Of some wonderful things we saw perform
ed through the alledged aid Of the spirits.
The gentleman above referred to was tho
medium-an1 though wo are not believers
in spiritualism, we are free to say that We
think the young man honest and above sus-
picion. His expulsion from Harvard Col.
lego will DO mere persecution. The Pro
fessors of that institution cannot explain the
cause Of this phenomenon. and hence they
set up the cry Of 'trickery.' That will not
answer-for though man may move bell
with his feet, he cannot lift piano from
the aoor weighing nearly q thousand pounds,
by merely touching the keys, which this me
dunn has done IN our presence aud in the
presence Of other unbelieyers.
There is something in this 80 called
Spiritualism which cannot DO explained to
the satisfaction Of thousands, but the faculty
Of Harvard College combined cannot at this
late day make the public believe that gen.
tlemen Of wealth, position and brains would
aid and abet in mere trickery. II may be
the dawn Of q new science, but We cannot
believe that human muscles accomplish
what we have seen performed. We shsil
wait the result Of the proceedings Of tho
faculty of Harvard College with patience"
