ground OF a picturesque agitation OF
medical students In protest against the

account Of the disorder and riotins that
took place recently during the lectures
Of an unpopular professor OF anatomy,
DR.. Nicholas.

streets. declare the decision Of the gov
eminent Is an act OF injustice, Interior
ing with their professional careers and
preventing them from qualifying for
their examinations.
Law students. Of course. could not be
expected to overlook so excellent
chance OF injecting a little excitement
into their dull student routine, and are
enthusia stically supporting their COM
rades Of the medical school.
The new Minister of Public Instruc-
ton, NJ Guisthau, will be compelled to
exercise extraordinary tact in order to
prevent the agitation in the Latin Quar-
ter from degenerating into a series OF
riots.
Meanwhile the quarters of the Opera
