Cincinnati, has undertaken the stu
pendous task of recognizing his fac
ulty from top to bottom. We wish
him all success. To the members OF
the college faculty we suggest the
dignifed support of their presidents
honest eudeavors. We hope that
there is no truth in the newspaper
reports which suggest that the senti-
ment of trades unionism is being ad-
vocated, to the effect that if not all
are le-appointed not one must accept
place. Nothing will be gained by
any display of sulkiness.-New York

done. A more specific criticism Of
his statements will be given in these
columns next week. -Ne,O York
