Secret Societies in Princeton College.
TWENTY STUDENTS EXPBLLED--LAwS OF THE
COLLEGE ON THE SUBJECT

TRENTON, November 23.-The faculty OF Prince
ton College expelled yesterday morning twenty
students, most jot them seniors, aud, according to
tie testimony of their comrades, the flower OF their
class. Some OF these young men are well.known
residents of New York, where their misfortune
will awaken, considerable interest. The sole fea-
son Of their ex pusion is their connection with the
Del aPhi,i the Phi Kappa, and the Zeta societies
10 the alumoi of other American collegt such az
act OF discipline may appear strange and unac-
countable. The societies to which these Princeton
students belonged are celebrated throughout the
country, having chapters in Yale, Harvard and
Cornell, and many other universities. But Prince
ton is exceptional. u der the administration OF
President Macean in 1855. the trustees OF that in
stitution drew up the following promise:
-,,"'We the undersigned, do individually for our
elves promise, without any mental reservation,
That we willhaye no connection whatever with any
secret society, nor be present at the meetings Of
any secret society in this or any other college, SO
long aswe are members Of the college OF New Jer
1ey-; it being understood that this promise has DO
to the American Wing aud Cliosophic
Societies. We also declare that We regard ourselves
oeund to keep this promise, and on no account
Shatever to violate it.
