"The Faculty of Harvard College, it is reported, have at last consented to receive applications from women for admission to the full privileges of the University. This question has agitated the professors since 1874, but not until recently has there been any action taken upon it." - Boston Advertiser.

So thoroughly false a report, coming from a paper of the standing of the Advertiser, needs something more than a mere denial. In regard to the admission of women, both the Faculty and the Corporation are decidedly opposed to any such innovation. The experiment of the co-education of the sexes is not at all likely ever to be tried at Harvard. The Boston papers have a habit of inserting - some of them occasionally and others regularly - items of news under such headings as "Harvard University Gossip," "College Notes," and so forth, most of which are either strictly personal or else entirely false. If we might make a suggestion to such exalted directors of public opinion, we would request them to confine their items to occurrences at the police-stations and court-rooms, in which, no doubt, their readers are more interested than in the doings of "college boys."
