An answer to the objection raised by the correspondent of the Advertiser against the revoking of degrees by the corporation of Harvard has appeared. If, says this rejoinder, the degrees are voted subject to an expressly reserved power of revocation remaining in the corporation, or even deputed by the corporation to the faculty, no authority on earth could compel the delivery up to a riotous graduate of his diploma after the reserved power of revocation had been exercised. . . . The writer assumes that the college intends to vote degrees absolutely, and then to take them away, and it is on this assumption alone that his argument rests. If such were the claim of the corporation, it would logically put itself in the position of asserting its power to revoke today degrees given twenty years ago, but it is hardly necessary to say that no such absurdity is implied in the vote of the corporation and overseers. It is much to be regretted, however, that the college authorities are compelled to take any action on such a matter as this. Far better would it have been for the graduates, acting by classes, to have surpressed this last relic of less manly days, then to have obliged the coporation by feeble and negative means to attempt to enforce dicipline over graduates to which under-classmen alone are subject.
