The HERALD was quite justified, it now appears, in instancing the example of the Princeton faculty as one which our own faculty would do well to follow in abolishing the more objectionable features of the anti-professional rules. The report that the Princeton faculty had taken this action was first made on the authority of the New York papers. One of these soon contradicted the report as premature, but now it is stated that the faculty has taken action in the matter by temporarily suspending the rule against playing professionals, which is as far as its power extends, and by proposing further to advise its repeal by the board of trustees. Harvard is thus left alone in its position on this question, for even Amherst has permitted the employment of a professional coach.
