In an interview last week, Dr. McCosh said of the recent Princeton troubles: "We did not proceed at once to discipline our young gentlemen, believing that they had been very properly arrested by the town authorities and punished according to law. Since their action we have suspended those found guilty. Stung by the odium cast on the college by the late riotous proceedings, all of the students, save three or four who were absent at the time, have signed a pledge not to indulge in it during their college course. During my presidency of about ten years I have always demanded pledges from those who transgressed college laws, and in all that time I never once heard of one's being broken." The N. Y.
