HARVARD AS IT IS.
Some OF the BIts of BIRckRuaFGIism
Lately ChKOnioled,
Rochester UniOn.l

Rochester UniOn.l
1t is evident enough that the rep.
utation of Harvard College is run.
ming down rapidly. Added to the
charges, openly made, that the most
audacious, free thinking rhetoric i;
indulged and the moral standard oi
the college is lower than ever before
in its history, and that it is ac.
knowledged to be the mostimmoral
extravagant and unchristian insti-
tuition in the land, is the open
charge of the commonest sort oi
rufiianism. Less than a month ago
the Harvard students visited Bos.
ton, and entering the hall where a
convention Of New England free
lovers was being ,beld, INDUCED in
such acts as to break up the meet
ing. While it may be true that these
free.lovers have no respectability,
or at least SO little that they forfeit
the favor Of the Boston police, the
fact does not relieve the Harvard
students of q disgrace attaching to
such q rufiianly act,
A later rutlianly act committed
by these students was throwing a
mattress from q dormitory window
upon a throng of people below,
striking a woman on the head, fore
ing a comb into her skull and in.
juring her so severely that she has
been confined to her bed ever since
and is in 0 very critical condition.
The latest not Of blaokguardism
was that Of the Harvard students
while at Springfield during the re-
cent regatta, of putting the follow
ing signboard outside their quar-
ters: REPORTERS and other loaf
efs not wanted here" True, this
act may have been that of a black
guard who vent to Harvard as
such, and who will come away and
remain such all his life, but the
other students gave that silence
which was assent to the act, and it
reflects upon them all, Taking any
view of it, tho act was the most
contemptible and insulting that
could have been committed and
contributes largely to the support
of the assertion that the moral
standard of Harvard is at a low
ebb, and the immoral and ruflianly
at high tide.
Tho Boston Transcript makes
the charges, and that paper has
ample means of gotting at the truth
and is noted for the fearlessness with
which it uttors it, During the past
year or two the student at Harvard
has had no keystone of religious
faith for his intellectual arch, and
hee.thinking Of the Bradlaugh type
has become there the formidable
rival of all orthodox theology.
Works Of what are called indirectly
in6del in character, pretending to a
scientific basis, are freely circulated
among these students addicted
to or tolerant of mere religious
speculation, and the certain drift Of
it all is the assailing of mems dearest
beliefs in the coarsest manners Of
the students in their daily life. The
writer in the Transcript asserts

While the Russian center is thus investing Kars, the
forces which marching toward Kas by way of Arda
ham, have captured two OF the T0rish outworks al that
town. This place formerly contained 500 houses, but
having been destroyed by The Russians 1t now contains
only about 100. The fortress once dismontcd by
the Russians but defcuscs have since been erected by
the Turks which not likely to resist the Russians
very long The road 20 Kars from this point lies over
high ablc-land without single village for 20 miles. but
about 10 miles from Ksrs the country becomes well
peopled and highly productive.

the Russians entering the plain Of Erzerum A., how

While these movements IN progress, Mukhtar

Russian 1nisncrs have already approached so near as
