HEALTHFUL DISCIPLINE.

Princeton, or the college Of New Jersey"
is Just now undergoing a gratuitous adver-
tisement from anonymous criticism upon its
officers published and circulated by certain
dsafiected students. The New York papers
contain daily bulletins detailing the excited
state of affairs existing just now at Nassau
hall" but the cAsus belli seems in fact to be a
difference of opinion between tho college
officials and the "boys" as to the government
of the institution.
ut is an i'll bird which fouls its own nest
and those of the public who care anything at
all about tho matter at issue know that
charges Of Partially date back to the time OF
Cain and Abel; that differences in grade are
sometimes accounted for by mental superb
GRITTY and studious application, just as there
is physical pre-eminonce in the gymnasium,
and that those who fail are sometimes dlssat'
isted with results
The fact remains that under DIR. McCosh
the college has taken a gigantic stride toward.
the front rank OF American institutions that
under him magnificent buildings Including
gymnasium have been erected, and thai
physical development and elective scholar
| ship have been placed upon basis before
