elected to the Boston school committee were
present at a session held April 80, going there

DR.. Pierson devoted his forenoon discourse
yesterday to the daily press He admitted that
an editor had more influence than hundred
preachers, but thought that influence generally
mischievous. In fact the press, as a whole, he
claims, Is infdel IN its tendencies. That's just
what Bishop Borgess. thinks about the public
schools, which brother Pierson upholds. Now,
il gentlemen OF the cloth would agree among
themselves touching these things, erhaps they
might have more influence in moulding the
civilization Of the age. In any event the press

which received them on such generous terms.
1t is important, if we would maintain Ann
Arbor's high standing among the educational
institutions of the country, that this work
should be stopped The students should have
pride enough in their alma mater. and self.re-
spect enough, to stop 1t themselves. -Detroit

This is the shameful way newspapers at a

Louis Globe Democrat: 'Is any State de-
serves well Of its young men, that State is
Michigan. But about once a year the annals
OF her magnificent University are disgraced by
a row, in which the young men appear as
