Wesleyan University, more denomina-

We have been told that We could not

trarily excluded! And this is done in
the name of liberalism as opposed to
narrowness and bigotry!
There has been nothing more
comical or that is greater farcical
burlesque since the Puritans burned
and hanged their fellow mortals for
differing with them in religious oDin-

There is positive evidence that
this erratic and inconsistent admin
istration of the Carnegie Pension

who gave us, with no religious or en-
barrassing restrictions, the largest

would fall short Of the latter figures
but the general superstition was that

figures would remain substantially the
