ton with the faculty 1t is supposed the
faculty are acting for the best interest OF
the college, and the young men as well.
1t is also to be supposed they considered
well what they were doing before the
action was taken. This being SO, the
difficulty resolves itself into this: Are
the men in charge of the college cOmpe-
tent to manage it? If SO, they ought to
be sustained by the trustees and every
well-wisher Of the institution, including
the parents, guardians and close friends
of the young men. These young men,
no doubt, feel aggrieved, and yet it will
require just little while for them to see
that their cause for resenting the action
of the college was all an imaginary one,
having it's origin and short existence in
the indiscretiOns OF a school boy. No
movement on the part of the students
like this at the A. and NJ College, can
succeed against any institution that has
any standing. 1t is right that it should
not succeed, for if it should, than all dis
cipline at colleges would be at an end. 1t
is too nearly so it is. There is nOdOubt
as to what the final result of this issue
between the boys Of the A. and NJ. and
the faculty will be. The boys will have
to come down off their horses and take
their medicine, or they will have to go
home. If they should decide to do the
latter, it will be the worse for them,
causing some of them to make failures in
life, whereas they might have been sue
cessful.
On the other hand, it will not hurt,
but rather help the college, in the esti-
nation of it's friends. It will be observed
We are not discussing at all the morals
of the contention, regarding. as we do,
the teachers in loco parents, they ought
to have full and final jurisdiction over all
questions which arise between them and
the members of their household.
